The Oxford at Parkview Estates — where scale meets personality. Some homes simply have it — that rare combination of presence, proportion, and polish that beckons you and hints at everything waiting beyond the front door. This super-sized Oxford model by Heartland Homes is one of those homes. Your initial steps inside set the tone for your visit. This impressive 2-story entrance residence is built for both the quiet Tuesday morning and the holiday gathering that fills every room. Hardwood floors carry you through much of the main level — dining room, kitchen, breakfast area, and powder room/hallway — grounding each space in warmth and continuity. The formal dining room commands attention with tray ceilings dressed in accent lighting and outstanding windows that frame natural light. The formal living room offers a versatile space: a second office, music room or reading lounge — the choice is yours and offers a mirror image of the dining room windows. Picture frame molding sprinkled about. Glass French doors open to a dedicated office or study for your quiet time needs. The kitchen earns its title as the heart of the home as it pairs granite countertops and an oversized island with seating overhang — equally suited for Sunday morning pancakes or a cocktail hour spread. Shelf Genie pullout drawers, a tiled backsplash, built-in pantry, concealed trash bins, double ovens (one convection), and a 5-burner gas cooktop speak to a kitchen designed without compromise. The kitchen window delivers long, tree-lined views. Eye catching vaulted ceiling amplifies the size and scale of the family room where a gas fireplace serves as the visual and functional focal point and all will gravitate to this natural gathering point. The sliding door opens onto a considerable composite deck — accent-lit — where the views open wide to tree canopies and rolling vistas that stretch for miles. It's the kind of outdoor living space you stop to absorb, not just pass through. Nine-foot ceilings on both the main and lower levels, generous bump-outs and thoughtfully positioned windows (including transom in the DR/LR/FR), reinforce throughout this is a home built to breathe. The primary suite arrives behind French doors, where dual walk-in closets — one with attic access — provide your wardrobe needs. The en-suite bath delivers a comfortable and refreshing experience behind additional French doors with opposing dual vanities, tiled shower stall, jetted soaking tub and private water closet. Three additional generously sized bedrooms share a dual-sink hall bath. With 1,200 bonus finished sq. ft. to experience and enjoy, that’s what you’ll do in nearly every corner of the engaging game room. High-quality LVP flooring spans the majority of the space. The centerpiece: a granite and stainless kitchenette with soft-close cabinetry, full-size refrigerator, beverage cooler, dishwasher, and sink — all set off by a stunning custom made live-edge white walnut ledge . . . seating for five or six. Beyond the ledge, there's room for a pool table/gaming station, exercise area, vast dedicated lounge seating for movie nights, a beautifully finished full bath with an oversized tiled shower, and storage capacity that has to be seen to be appreciated. Double walkout doors lead to the substantial paver patio . . . a second outdoor retreat directly below the deck w/ staircase. Whether it’s early morning rear view sunrises, late-night long evenings around the firepit or front view fireworks throughout the year, the combination of it all make this distinct home and location hard to resist. Highlighted by the captivating sunrises and vista views and green space beyond the property line, Parkview Estates rounds out the picture — a sidewalk community in the sought-after Pine-Richland School District, complete with a clubhouse and community pool. This one is ready to be lived in fully.

Built in 1890 . . . brought forward to 2026 . . . ready for you! There are homes built to impress, and then there are homes built to last — to accumulate stories, to settle into a lot like they belong there, to age in a way that only adds to their worth. This four-bedroom Cape Cod in Pine-Richland School District is firmly the latter. Born in 1890 and thoughtfully brought forward to 2026, it carries the kind of quiet confidence that newer construction simply cannot manufacture. A covered front porch sets an unhurried tone before you've even reached the door — the kind of porch that earns its keep across all four seasons. Inside, the entry is both welcoming and genuinely functional, opening into a main level anchored by rich hand-scraped hardwood floors that flow through the living room, dining area, kitchen, and hallways without interruption. Plaster walls, crown molding sprinkled throughout and notably generous hallways are the details that stop you mid-tour and remind you what craftsmanship once looked like. The living room gathers around a gas fireplace dressed with a hearth and mantel, its brick surround a nod to the home's origins. Replaced windows — most of them — pull daylight deep into every corner. The kitchen earns its place as the heart of the home: granite countertops, a tiled backsplash and stainless appliances (several new) share the space with a beverage station, a raised peninsula ideal for quick meals or casual overflow seating and a dining area that marries farmhouse warmth with modern finishes. A dedicated pantry and storage room sits just steps away, and a rear kitchen door opens directly to the private deck and garage — a circulation detail that makes daily life considerably smoother. The flexible floor plan places two bedrooms on the main level — including the primary — offering single-floor living if that's what you want, or simply a head start on comfort. Both are bright and sizeable, with organic window views that keep the outside close. A larger closet and two additional wardrobe closets serve the primary well. Two mini-split units — one on each level in the primary and the second-floor office — add climate control where it's most appreciated. Both finished levels showcase a tastefully reimagined full bathroom, each with Bluetooth-enabled switches, beautiful tilework and built-in shelving and linen nooks — one with a barn door to tuck things neatly away. This home's second floor delivers two additional bedrooms, full bath, spacious hallway closet and versatile room well suited as a home office or secondary lounge. Below, the basement offers an enormous amount of storage — the kind that actually solves the problem — plus a workshop that connects directly to the garage, a practical layout that works as hard as you do. The mechanicals have been addressed: roof replacement (per previous owner), window replacement, updated furnace, water heater and ductwork throughout the basement . . . peace of mind comes standard. Step outside and the property opens up in a way that stops buyers in their tracks. Tree-lined rear boundaries create genuine privacy, and the yard backs directly to the Pittsburgh North Golf Course — a sweep of maintained green space and open sky that stretches well beyond the property line. It's the kind of backdrop that most buyers can only hope for, and here it's simply what you look at every morning. A new paver patio is being installed within days, leading to water feature and log firepit that's already made for slower moments and evenings. Two guest parking spaces and an extended driveway handle the practical side without a second thought. Add proximity to both the elementary and upper elementary schools, a short distance to Richland Park and the full backing of Pine-Richland School District . . . this home stops being a choice between character and convenience. It's both — all positioned perfectly one of the better lots in the area.

Super Stoneridge ranch — understated, well-loved and ready for what comes next. This three-bedroom brick ranch in Shaler's Stoneridge neighborhood is thoughtfully maintained with tasteful updates, and positioned in one of the area's most walkable and community-minded settings. A fresh front door sets a welcoming tone before you've stepped inside, and once you do, resurfaced hardwood floors carry through the living room, bedrooms, and hallway — warm underfoot, easy on the eye, and rich with the kind of character only time can build. An exposed brick accent wall gives the living space a natural focal point, ready to become the backdrop for whatever you bring to it. Well-preserved windows pull daylight deep into each room, making the whole main level feel open and unhurried. LVP flooring grounds the kitchen, dining area, and both bathrooms in clean, durable practicality. Wood cabinetry provides classic storage in the kitchen, while a 5-burner gas range and Bosch dishwasher signal that cooking here is taken seriously. A farmhouse sink grounds the space with a touch of character, and the window above it frames the rear yard — a quiet reminder that keeping an eye on things outside doesn't have to mean stepping away from the stove. The refreshed main-level full bathroom carries a neutral palette that's move-in ready and easy to personalize. Two sliding glass doors extend the living space outward in the best possible way. Step from the main level onto the upper deck, then follow the steps down to the lower patio off the walkout basement — a natural progression from inside to outside that makes warm-weather living feel effortless. Below, the finished lower level offers two distinct zones: a home office area or super location for those items you don’t want seen on the main level, and a second lounge space for unwinding. A half bath is already in place, with real potential to expand to a full bath for added versatility. Garage access and the laundry room open directly off this level, keeping daily logistics contained and out of the way, while a sliding glass door floods the space with natural light that basements rarely enjoy. Two dedicated storage closets handle what needs to be put away. Ceiling fans in all three bedrooms and the living room keep the air moving year-round, and attic access through a bedroom closet provides an extra measure of stowaway space. Outside, the fenced rear yard is an invitation rather than an afterthought — a wooded backdrop that shifts with the seasons, a firepit made for late evenings, a storage shed, and extra parking that proves useful more often than you'd expect. The Shaler location seals it. Stoneridge Park is within easy walking distance — a proper neighborhood park with a ballfield, tennis, pickleball, street hockey, sand volleyball, bocce, and an inclusive playground. Fall Run Park, with its waterfall trail, and the beloved open grounds of Hartwood Acres are both just minutes away. For buyers who want a home that's been cared for, a neighborhood with real amenities, and a location that delivers on weekdays and weekends alike — this home is excited for its next owner.
