A historic mansion in Sewickley, PA, needs a new owner for the first time since 1947.
The six-bedroom, Mediterranean estate at 47 Woodland Road has jaw-dropping, Old World interiors and is listed for $2.5 million.
“It was built by acclaimed Pittsburgh architect Frank Rutan as his personal residence in 1905,” says listing agent Kathe Barge. “During its 119 years, it has only been owned by two families.”
The second family purchased the property in 1947 and eventually passed it on to their daughter, who had it renovated in 1977. Updates included work on the home’s stone-and-stucco exterior, which complements the original red-tile roof.
A number of historic details are found throughout the interior.
“The residence boasts a collection of exquisite stained- and leaded-glass windows in the living room, dining room, and even on the stair landing,” says Barge. “The handcrafted main staircase resonates with the design philosophies of the early-20th century, specifically those of the American Arts and Crafts movement.”

Other noteworthy details include the custom-built fireplaces, crown moldings, and a recently added sunroom with a rock garden.
“It’s a very serene space framed by arched entrances and exposed beams,” says Barge. “The high ceilings create a spacious and airy feeling that connects you to the outdoors.”
That connection feels all the more special when you begin to explore the manicured grounds of this 3.8-acre property, filled with mature trees, a well-maintained lawn, and even a covered Mediterranean-style breezeway.
Despite the feelings of privacy, the property is also well positioned in Sewickley Village.
“With the convenience of nearby schools, parks, and community events, this home isn’t just a location,” Barge says. “It’s a lifestyle that offers an idyllic setting in one of Sewickley’s most desirable enclaves.”
