What makes a house Iconic

Every truly iconic home tells a story—rooted in the vision of its architect, shaped by thoughtful design, and infused with an energy that makes you wonder how it all began. In our Iconic Houses of Pittsburgh series, we uncover the backstories of these masterpieces, where history, craftsmanship, and creativity collide.

Welcome to 52 Timbertrail, a rare estate tucked into more than 10 wooded acres in Sewickley. Here, modern luxury is framed by nature at its most enchanting. Designed to harmonize with its setting, the home’s neutral stonework flows effortlessly into gardens and groves, creating the sense that the residence grew organically from the land itself.

Step outdoors and the grounds reveal themselves as a destination in their own right. A resort-style pool and spa sparkle at the heart of the property, framed by a serpentine stone patio that invites long afternoons and starlit evenings. Beyond, meandering garden paths weave through native plantings and curated beds, while a thriving vegetable garden brings both beauty and bounty. Hidden enclaves—a private campsite beneath the canopy, a terrace designed for gathering, secluded seating carved into the landscape—turn the outdoors into a series of experiences waiting to be discovered.

Inside, the home balances grandeur with intimacy: French limestone, gleaming hardwoods, soaring ceilings, and fireplaces throughout. Two offices, a media room, an exercise studio, and a chef’s kitchen provide space for both work and leisure. The primary suite crowns the residence, conceived as a private retreat with layers of comfort and indulgence.

52 Timbertrail is more than a house—it is an estate where landscape and architecture move in concert, creating a place as iconic as it is livable.
