About the Property
Restored with reverence and reimagined with intention, 1400 Sherman Avenue is the crown jewel of Pittsburgh’s historic Mexican War Streets. This three-bed, three full, two half bath residence blends timeless architecture with modern livability—where original details are meticulously preserved and a hyper-functional floor plan, paired with luxury upgrades, elevates every square inch.
A parade of amenities compete for headliner status: the once-in-a-generation fourth-floor rooftop deck with 360-degree views of the Central Northside, Downtown Pittsburgh, and Mount Washington; the grand original staircase, restored to its full glory; and the sweeping open-concept kitchen with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and a ten-foot service bar. All of it is set within a stately brick façade adorned with transom windows, exposed brick, decorative fireplaces, and Victorian woodwork—nodding to the home’s architectural pedigree.
The vestibule opens into the main floor, where nine-foot ceilings and restored pine floors set a warm foundation. The front parlor gives way to the chef’s kitchen, anchored by an oversized island and cabinetry topped with glass-front display cases. At the rear, the dining area provides access to a brick-paved courtyard, while a powder room, pantry, and coat closet add everyday function.
The second floor hosts two spacious bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and full designer baths. A dedicated laundry room, two additional storage closets, and rear staircase complete the utility hallway. On the third floor, the primary suite delivers next-level luxury with a walk-in dressing room, custom built-ins, and a spa-like ensuite bath with dual-sink vanity and oversized tile shower. Just beyond, a lounge with built-in bar, beverage fridge, and half bath leads to a spiral staircase.
At the top: the pièce de résistance rooftop terrace—an incredibly rare, likely unrepeatable outdoor space with panoramic skyline views, designed for entertaining, relaxing, and showing off. A true architectural and lifestyle triumph, 1400 Sherman is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city’s past—brilliantly adapted for modern-day living.
