A classic brick Foursquare in the heart of the Sewickley Historic District, 226 Ferry Street pairs original character with the kind of updates that make a century home truly livable. Three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a finished lower level, and a two-car garage sit on a corner lot fronting two streets, just steps from the shops and restaurants of the Village.
Inside, hardwood floors run through the main level alongside original wood doors, deep millwork, crown molding, and a substantial newel post anchoring the staircase. The living room centers on a stone fireplace with a wood mantel, while a stained glass door adds a quiet collector's detail. French doors open from the dining room, where wainscoting and a brass chandelier set the tone, out to a covered side porch with a swing, brick columns, and a stone patio below.
The kitchen has been opened up and renovated with cream cabinetry, granite counters, a tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed and pendant lighting, and a generous center island. The primary suite delivers an updated bath built for daily use: a frameless glass shower with mosaic tile, a separate soaking tub, a double vanity, and a private water closet. Two additional bedrooms and a finished basement round out the living space.
Mechanically, the home is in strong shape. The main roof was replaced in 2022, the porch roof in 2019, and the garage roof in 2014. Heating is natural gas hot water across three zones, with central air conditioning, copper plumbing, a radon mitigation system, and an active pest control contract in place. Public water and sewer.
Out front, a covered porch with brick columns and a fire pit looks out over the neighborhood. Out back, the side porch and patio create a second outdoor room. Sewickley Academy, the riverfront, and the shops and restaurants of Beaver Street are all just minutes away.
