I’m not too well read up on them but thought Allderdice was the only decent one. And yet it still seems to get bad marks.

Anyway you figure if it’s a family with school aged children moving there they’d send their kids to somewhere like Winchester Thurston or Shady Side Academy.

Yes the bright red awning is so out of place. It needs something more in style of the home.

My parents live in this neighborhood. It is lovely to walk to Frick Park. But Dallas is a busy street - a pedestrian was killed at that intersection last year.

I used to live in a house that looked so similar that I just had to call my mom to verify it wasn't ours. It was not. We lived about a block away. That was a fun old house. It had a dumb waiter, a laundry chute to the basement, and a button on the dining room floor to call the staff. Also very close to amazing sledding. Those were the days.

Great house! Very pretty.

All those bedrooms and not one on the main floor. So much for multi-generational living.

+1. It's giving major Godfather vibes. I would like this if I have several hundred thousand dollars and a designer and architect I trusted.

Number of fireplaces: 5. 🔥

It’s pretty bad.

The kitchen isn’t pretty, but it was built in a time where kitchens were closed off from the rest of the house and not expected to be pretty because it is a utilitarian space. Personally I’m game for not having a kitchen open for all to see.

Open floor plans suck. It makes me sad whenever I see a flip of a beautiful 1920s home with the entire first floor opened up into a horrible cavernous space.

Pittsburgh has some great public’s

Wow I hate everything about this except for the yard.

It needs to be gutted the layout is awful.

Really beautiful. Everyone talks about the "area" so I thought there would be similar large houses around a park, like St. Louis. Looks like this house is an outlier, much bigger than the neighbors.

It's strange that there's the one bathroom that looks updated.

Man I usually love old houses with details preserved, but this one is really not doing it for me. It feels very awkwardly updated and just looks like it needs a ton of work.
