Virginia Manor has long been one of Mt. Lebanon's most treasured neighborhoods, known for its winding streets, towering trees, and homes with stories worth telling. Often these homes are passed from one generation to the next making opportunities few and far between. This unassuming, well manicured brick ranch keeps its best secrets hidden until the front door opens. Two large picture windows in the living and dining rooms pull the outdoors inside filling the open space with sunlight that dances across the hardwood floors. The dining room commands attention with crown molding that extends from the living room, a beautifully illuminated built in buffet, and display shelving that transforms an everyday meal into an occasion. A charming teardrop archway adds a touch of whimsy before leading to the maple kitchen, perfectly sized for morning coffee, Sunday pancakes, and late night conversations that somehow last for hours. The bedrooms are unexpectedly generous, each with walk-in closets, one dressed in hardwood and the other wrapped in brand new plush carpet. Then the house takes an unexpected turn. Beyond the living room, a vaulted knotty pine Florida room rises among walls of windows, creating the feeling of sitting in a treehouse suspended in nature. Step outside and the world seems to disappear. A huge stone patio, towering trees, layered landscaping, and a remarkable two tiered bird sanctuary create a private retreat where cardinals flash through the branches, breezes rustle the canopy overhead, and the soundtrack is birdsong instead of traffic. Downstairs, a freshly carpeted game room and full bath offer the perfect hideaway for overnight guests, game days, movie marathons, or celebrations that linger long after the final score. Storage is plentiful, the tandem 2 car garage keeps life organized, and every inch of the home reflects years of thoughtful care. Some homes ask for attention. This one quietly earns it.
