601 Backbone Road, Sewickley Heights, PAVideo Tour of 601 Backbone Road, Sewickley Heights, PA.
At the end of a quiet drive in Sewickley Heights, 601 Backbone Road unfolds across 16 rolling acres-a legacy estate once part of Farmhill Dairy, now beautifully reimagined. The main house, a refined former Guernsey Barn, offers a traditional layout with light-filled rooms, a chef's kitchen, two main-level bedroom suites, and a serene upstairs primary. Just beyond, a spectacular 3-level entertaining barn stuns with reclaimed wormy chestnut, vaulted great hall with stone fireplace, bar, lounge, and theater space. Two original cottages-one ideal for guests, the other for office or studio-add flexibility. A six-car garage, cobblestone paths, slate roofs, and radiant-heated floors complete the picture. From its pastoral setting to its rich architectural soul, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity in the heart of Sewickley Heights.
