Perched on an elevated Sewickley Heights site, this 6.7 acre property is a rare fusion of history and future potential, where you can build your dream residence to live on the grounds of the renowned Gladmore Farm. This site holds a cherished past, dating back to 1905 when a steel magnate commissioned the construction of a lavish summer retreat attributed to the celebrated architects Alden & Harlow, as a wedding gift for his daughter. Sewickley Heights has been the favorite address of Pittsburgh’s most prominent families throughout the 20th century, and Gladmore Farm stood as a testament to that heritage.

What sets this property apart is the thoughtful preparation it has already undergone to once again accommodate a much larger and even more luxurious estate. This 6.7acre property, with a successful perk test for a larger home, offers a unique opportunity.

The current 1957 all-brick home (which replaced the original mansion on this site) is a masterpiece of Junior Beam steel and concrete construction and has been meticulously and lavishly remodeled under the guidance of a prominent local designer. This residence could seamlessly become a guest wing, should you desire to augment your already distinguished estate or you could build an entirely separate residence.

Gladmore Farm, a nature lover’s dream, unfolds its magic along a meandering driveway gracefully lined by stately oaks and maples that create a breathtaking canopy, casting dappled sunlight upon the road. This long and winding path, adorned with nature’s sentinels, guides you towards the highest point of this majestic 6.7-acre estate where the landscape is graced by a tapestry of magnificent trees. Gladmore Farm is not just a property; it’s an ode to the beauty of trees and the serenity of nature, where every step up the tree-lined driveway is a communion with the outdoors.

Step inside and you’ll discover a main level that is a celebration of gracious living. An inviting space unified by hardwood floors encompasses the living and dining rooms, leading to a brilliantly customized kitchen that showcases top-tier appliances and Vermont marble countertops and island with an arresting full-wall marble backsplash.

This culinary haven flows seamlessly into the warm and welcoming family room.

Further enhancing the functional design of this property, a butler’s pantry, complete with a laundry area, facilitates the most sophisticated of gatherings. The adjacent mudroom connects to a two-car garage, ensuring seamless access to this dwelling. A wall of French doors bathes the dining room in natural light, and beyond them, sprawling lawns and an inviting inground “English” pool await your enjoyment. The covered patio provides an idyllic setting for warm-weather soirées, offering an unparalleled western and sunset view of this breathtaking estate. The main level is completed by a wonderful bedroom suite.

Upstairs, you’ll find three expansive bedrooms, each complemented by three exquisitely remodeled marble baths. A second floor open-air 13’x23’ setback terrace offers a serene vantage point to embrace the surroundings. As you explore this magnificent property, you’ll also find that the massive lower level basement offers the opportunity for even greater expansion, limited only by your imagination.

For the discerning buyer who seeks privacy and the opportunity to create a larger legacy home for generations to come, Gladmore Farm beckons. Unlike some of the large estates in Sewickley Heights, the Gladmore Farm residence is not visible from the road and sits privately at the end of a long, winding driveway. Here, history and future converge in perfect harmony, where you can breathe life into the past while crafting your own chapter in this exclusive enclave. Your dreams await at this Sewickley Heights’ prestigious address.
