1940s brick 2 story home in Pittsburgh PA. The original owner hired a local architect to model this home after a home he had visited in Northern California.
During the weekend showing period, I illuminated the home using my Philips Hue lights. Baldwin Manor was located on a busy thoroughfare in a Pittsburgh suburb that had thousands of eyes pass each day.
Stoic brick 2-story home on a raised plot, overlooking a busy residential neighborhood.
A simple street number ornament above the door and front door touch-up mades for a wonderful first impression
The stained oak woodwork was outdated and needed a refresh
Clean, simple and modern finishes.
Clashing shades of pink everywhere you look. Upper cabinets contributing to consumption of natural light. Massive custom concrete island.
Lighter tile floors and white walls allow for a pop of color in a new custom island. Upper cabinets removed and replaced with open shelving. New light fixture and hood range above the stove helped in the modernization of this beautiful kitchen
Alley view between the old island and stove
Modern and simple improvements
A large built in coat closet located in the entry way of the home.
Maintaining the practical functionality of the previous coat closet while also creating a comfortable seating area.
The formal dining room provides a simple and clean template to work with.
The reclaimed beam chandelier and yellow accent wall are a wonderful contrast of old and new
Dated half bath on the first floor. Dark paint and dated pedestal vanity.
Custom woodwork makes the bathroom feel taller. New vanity, mirror and towel rack. Simple finishes that will impress.
A living room addition that feels dark and lacking character
Recessed lighting, modern ceiling fan, paint and custom mantle above the fireplace. A beautiful makeover for one of the most occupied rooms in the house.
