143 Backbone Rd, Sewickley, PA 15143
What's special
Privacy and polish on 1.16 acres. Set back from the road and directly across from Sewickley Heights Golf Club, 143 Backbone Road greets you with a governor’s drive and a stone walk leading to this 4-bedroom, 3 full and 1 half bath home. Inside, hardwood floors carry through the main and second levels, and the generous room sizes make everyday living and entertaining easy. The updated kitchen is built for serious cooking, with custom cabinetry, Corian countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a stainless gas range. The family room, warmed by its own fireplace, opens through a Dutch door to the rear patio, while a second fireplace anchors the spacious living room flooded with natural light from the large picture window overlooking the rear yard. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private ensuite bath and two walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and the fourth bedroom has access to a beautifully renovated hall bath. The partially finished lower level adds a game room and provides ample storage. Outside, mature landscaping frames a large rear patio, a private spot for quiet mornings or weekend gatherings. A two-car attached garage completes the package. Enjoy knowing that the one year old roof and added insulation help to make this home energy efficient. All of this sits within the Quaker Valley School District and just minutes from Sewickley Village’s shops and restaurants.
