1038 Blackberry Drive Franklin Park, PA 15143

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the North Allegheny School District, 1038 Blackberry Drive is a thoughtfully designed custom-built home offering a combination of scale, versatility, and privacy. Among its most distinctive features are the two owner's suites, including a beautifully appointed first-floor primary, creating the rare opportunity for true main-level living without sacrificing space for family and guests. As you enter the home, a soaring two-story foyer introduces an interior that feel both gracious and inviting. To one side, the formal dining room comfortably accommodates gatherings of eight or more; opposite, French doors open to a private office. The living room is anchored by a dramatic see-through fireplace, framing views of the wooded landscape beyond and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The adjoining kitchen is designed for those who genuinely love to cook and entertain. Generous cabinetry, double ovens, a six-burner Viking gas cooktop, two sinks, and a warming drawer surround an expansive granite island with seating for eight. Birch hardwood floors flow throughout the main level and continue into the primary suite, a serene retreat with a spa-inspired bath, dual walk-in closets, and its own private deck complete with a newer Sundance hot tub. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms include a second spacious owner's suite with a private bath, abundant closet space, and access to a walk-in attic. A hall closet with laundry hookups provides the convenience of second-floor laundry as well. Perhaps the most compelling space on this level is the fifth bedroom: a light-filled room with a vaulted ceiling, currently enjoyed as an expansive family room and lounge and easily adapted to suit changing needs. The lower level adds yet another dimension to the home. A dedicated gym offers excellent potential as a recreation room, with existing rough-ins for a future bar and full bath. Just beyond is a climate-controlled wine cellar with capacity for approximately 900 bottles, a sophisticated and unexpected amenity for the collector or entertainer. Outdoor living is equally considered. Covered and open-air decks provide generous spaces for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings, while thoughtfully designed hardscaping and gardens draw the natural landscape into the backyard. A whole-home generator and seller-owned solar panels add another layer of thoughtful functionality, offering energy efficiency and peace of mind. From the front of the home, sweeping views extend across the green spaces that help define Franklin Park's distinctive character. Offering privacy without isolation, 1038 Blackberry Drive is just minutes from the shopping, dining, recreation, and everyday conveniences of Pittsburgh's North Hills, a substantial and beautifully conceived home designed to live as effortlessly as it entertains.
