Built in 1906 on more than an acre of land, this South Hills residence balances modern updates with traditional wood flooring and a striking brick exterior. Fully restored by local developer K Bennett Group, the home’s open-concept layout maximizes comfort and mobility. Meanwhile, the kitchen — complete with granite counters, stainless appliances, and 50 percent more ovens and dishwashers than a standard kitchen — defines efficiency.

Though just minutes from Mount Lebanon’s hub of commercial amenities, 957 Connor values its independence. For moments of solitude, venture to one of three exterior terraces; or head to the third floor, which has been fashioned with its own HVAC system.
