There is a certain kind of life that unfolds twenty-two floors above the city, and this two story penthouse atop the Fairmont Pittsburgh Residences is built for exactly that. Mornings begin with coffee and a full skyline at eye level, evenings end with the ballpark glowing across the river, and every hour in between feels a little quieter, a little more intentional than life at street level.
Spanning the 22nd and 23rd floors, this five bedroom, seven full and two half bath residence has been fully updated, with every surface and finish thoughtfully considered. The scale is generous without ever feeling empty. This is the kind of home that suits a busy executive, a visiting athlete, or anyone whose schedule does not leave room for a renovation project.
Entry is private and seamless. Two elevators open into the residence, with direct access to both floors, and a sculptural staircase connects the levels as the architectural centerpiece. Floor to ceiling windows wrap the home in 180 degree views that take in the full Downtown skyline, the three rivers, and the lights of PNC Park. The office and library are positioned to frame the ballpark, which turns the routine of a workday into something genuinely memorable. For anyone who entertains, the open flow between the main living and dining spaces makes it easy to host a small dinner or a full roomful of people, with the city itself acting as the backdrop.
The owner's suite is its own experience. Two private bathrooms and two separate dressing rooms allow each person their own space and pace in the morning. One bath is bright, soft, and calming. The other is richer and more atmospheric. Neither feels like a compromise. The additional bedrooms are sized and appointed for family, long term guests, or staff, and each of the full baths has been finished with the same level of care as the main suite.
A temperature controlled wine room gives serious collectors a proper home for their bottles, and a smart water system automatically secures the residence when you travel, which matters when you spend as much time in the air as many of the people drawn to this building. The entire home is controlled through built in screens throughout and a single app, so sheers, blackout shades, temperature, surround sound, televisions, and more can be adjusted from your phone whether you are in the kitchen, in bed, or halfway across the country. Four assigned parking spaces in the security controlled underground garage remove the one daily annoyance of Downtown living, and because this is the Fairmont, you also have the full hotel experience at your fingertips, from valet parking and 24 hour room service to concierge, housekeeping, spa, and fitness. If you want to host visiting family or clients, guest rooms are a phone call away in the hotel below.
Beyond the front door, the rest of Pittsburgh is at your feet. Walk to PNC Park for a Pirates game, to the Cultural District for an evening at the Benedum or Heinz Hall, to Market Square for dinner, or across the bridge to the North Shore. Fine dining, the riverfront trails, and major corporate headquarters are all within a few blocks, and Pittsburgh International Airport is a quick drive away when you need to be somewhere else entirely.
This is a rare kind of address. Secure, private, and fully realized, with the views, the service, and the location that make Downtown living feel effortless.
