this Saturday, 7/25, 1-3 pm...... $884,800 🌈 A Toast to the USA; 250 years young! ONE LEVEL LIVING

Twelve years ago, a rainbow welcomed Don and Brad home. Today, as we listed their beloved Trimont condominium, another rainbow appeared over Pittsburgh—as if to celebrate the next chapter. Some moments simply can't be planned... although I still insist I scheduled both of them! 😊🌈

On December 1, 2014, I received a call from two wonderful clients, Don and Brad. 📞 They wanted to see my newest listing at the iconic Trimont on Pittsburgh's Mount Washington. 🏙️ None of us knew that day would become the beginning of a story we'd still be telling more than a decade later.

As we walked into Unit 490E, our eyes were immediately drawn straight through the beautifully designed living space to one of the most breathtaking views in Pittsburgh—the Golden Triangle, the three rivers, and the Point. 🌆🌉

As if someone had planned it just for us, a magnificent rainbow appeared over the Point. 🌈

It was one of those rare moments that leaves everyone speechless. Of course, I immediately took full credit for "scheduling" the rainbow as part of the showing! 😄 We laughed that it had to be a sign and joked that this home was simply meant to be theirs.

That very day, we wrote the offer; I was so proud to represent both the Seller, Rick Pierchowski, and my buyers, Don and Brad. ✍️🏡 See our photo attached from 2014/2015.!

For the past 12 years, Don and Brad have filled this extraordinary condominium with memories, laughter, friendships, and countless sunsets overlooking one of the most spectacular skylines in America. 🌇❤️ The Trimont has truly been a home they have loved.

Then, last week, something magical happened again. ✨

As we drove up McArdle Roadway on our way to sign the listing paperwork and begin the next chapter, we glanced toward the city. 🚗

Another beautiful rainbow stretching across the Pittsburgh skyline. 🌈

The timing was almost impossible to ignore. The same symbol that welcomed them to their new home in 2014 seemed to appear once again as we prepared to pass the torch and list it to find its next owners. 🔑

Or maybe this remarkable home has always had a little magic of its own. ✨

Swipe to see both rainbow photos—taken nearly 12 years apart—and tell me you don't believe this home was always meant to create unforgettable memories. 🌈❤️

Some moments simply can't be explained.

Maybe it was coincidence.

Maybe it was Pittsburgh showing off. 😎

🏡✨ JUST SOLD! WHAT IS THIS NEW TREND? Blake & Bella Found Their Forever Home! ✨🏡 Blake and Bella's purchase reflects one of the biggest shifts happening in today's housing market.
Some homes are purchased for today… but others are purchased with an eye toward the next 30–40 years. ❤️ It took a hefty $600,000 to win the bid, but this property checked off every box!
Congratulations to my wonderful buyers, Blake and Bella, who are absolutely thrilled to begin the next chapter of their lives in this breathtaking 7.70-acre country retreat in Connoquenessing Township! 🎉🐎🌳
After saving diligently for a long time, they found something incredibly special—a property that isn't just a house... it's a lifestyle.
🌿 Why THIS home?
From the moment we drove down the lane, it was easy to see why this property felt like "the one."
🏡 Approximately 2,500 sq. ft. custom-built home
🌳 7.70 peaceful acres of rolling countryside
🛏️ 3 Bedrooms | 🛁 2 Full Baths
☀️ Expansive Andersen windows with spectacular country views
🌻 Mature landscaping
🍎 Fruit trees
🫐 Berry bushes
🥕 Thriving garden
🐴 4-stall horse barn with water & electric
🚗 Epoxy-floor garage with an upper-level workshop/storage area
⚡ Whole-house generator
🏞️ Gorgeous hilltop views
…and just 20–25 minutes to Cranberry, 10 minutes to I-79, and 10 minutes to Moraine State Park!
❤️ Built For The Future
One of the things Blake and Bella loved most was the incredible flexibility this property offers.
🏠 The lower level already has existing kitchen plumbing, a full bath, and the potential for an in-law suite—perfect for:
👵 aging parents
👨‍👩‍👧 extended family
🎓 adult children returning home
👶 future childcare help
The separate keeper's cottage offers even more possibilities! With the addition of a bathroom, it could become:
✨ a guest house
✨ private office
✨ Airbnb rental
✨ income-producing suite
✨ independent living space for family
Even the level 4-acre upper parcel offers future subdivision potential with public water available.
That's incredible flexibility!
📈 A Growing Trend Across America
According to the National Association of Realtors®:
📊 17% of homebuyers purchased a multigenerational home between July 2023 and June 2024—up from 14% the previous year.
That means roughly 1 in 6 buyers is now looking for a home that can comfortably accommodate multiple generations.
📍 Why It's Growing Here In Western Pennsylvania
Although Pittsburgh-specific purchase statistics aren't regularly published, we are definitely seeing the trend.
Families are looking for homes that provide flexibility because of:
👵 Aging parents
👶 Grandparents helping raise children
🏡 Adult children returning home
💰 Rising housing costs
📈 Higher mortgage rates
❤️ Families wanting to stay together while maintaining privacy
🏠 Today's Buyers Want Flexibility
Many buyers are now searching for homes that offer:
✅ Main-floor bedroom & full bath
✅ In-law suite potential
✅ Separate entrances
✅ Walk-out lower levels
✅ Guest quarters
✅ Large kitchens for gathering
✅ Acreage
✅ Barns & outbuildings
✅ Privacy
This beautiful property checked nearly every box!
🌟 My Thoughts
For years, many families followed a familiar path:
🏠 First home
⬆️ Bigger home as the family grew
⬇️ Smaller home after retirement
I'm beginning to see something different.
Many younger buyers are thinking much further ahead. Rather than planning to move multiple times, they're looking for a home that can adapt to life's changes—a place where they can raise children, enjoy hobbies like gardening or horses, welcome extended family if needed, and perhaps never have to move again.
Blake and Bella weren't just buying a house.
They were investing in a lifestyle... and creating a place where memories can be made for decades to come. ❤️
Congratulations again, Blake and Bella! Thank you for allowing me to be part of this exciting journey. Wishing you years of happiness in your beautiful new home! 🏡🐴🌳
