# 79 Quaker Hollow Road _Canonical: https://teamthurber.com/properties/79-quaker-hollow-road-sewickley-heights-pa-15143/_ 79 Quaker Hollow Road, Sewickley Heights, PA, 15143 Birchmere sits on 10.8 acres along Quaker Hollow Road in Sewickley Heights, backing to the Allegheny Country Club, with the club’s private Lane’s End Drive tracing the eastern edge of the land. The ground was part of the David Park holdings until 1905 and the Birchmere lots were laid out in the 1987 Goodwood Estate Plan, so this is one of the Heights’ original parcels. The house was completed in 1994 at 16,406 square feet, giving it the scale of the older estates up here and systems a generation younger. The slate is the first thing you notice from the drive, and all of it was repaired and re-laid in 2026\. Through the front door, the formal living room is built for entertaining, with a fireplace at its center and picture lighting already in place for the art that will hang here. The kitchen is sized for a household that actually cooks, and a butler’s pantry handles the overflow of a holiday meal or a dinner party without anyone seeing the work. The owner’s suite is on the main level, and that single fact changes how the house lives. Everything you need day to day is on one floor, and the second story becomes the children’s or guests’ domain. A dedicated office opens to its own brick walled patio, far enough from the family rooms that a full workday can happen there without the rest of the house noticing. Upstairs are four bedrooms, each with an en suite bath, plus a second office that works as a craft room, sewing room, or homework station. Then there is the indoor pool. It is fully enclosed for swimming twelve months a year, but the ceiling slides open and the mirrored side walls fold back completely, so on a summer evening the whole room becomes an open air pavilion with the lawn on one side and the water in the middle. Sliding doors open from the pool straight to the grounds. Birchmere is really three homes. The two bedroom guest cottage has its own entrance, its own roof and gutters serviced in 2024, and its own septic system, making it a true second residence for visiting parents, a caretaker, or grown children home for a stretch. The garage apartment is a complete one bedroom home of its own, with a full living room, kitchen, and bedroom above the garage and a new HVAC system installed in 2026\. It gives an au pair, in-laws, a college student home for the summer, or a long term guest a real place to live while the main house stays exactly as it is. Recent work includes all slate repaired and re-laid in 2026; roofing and gutter work on the main house in 2026 and the guest cottage in 2024; new water heaters within the last few years; new HVAC in the garage apartment in 2026; and two separate septic systems for the main house and cottage, both serviced August 2026 with 5,000 gallon tanks, a dosing pump, and alarms. Public water is through the Sewickley municipal system. Quaker Valley School District. The village of Sewickley is a short drive for the Saturday farmers market, the library, and dinner at Vivo or Mediterra. Pittsburgh International Airport and downtown are each about fifteen minutes away, which is the quiet advantage of this side of the river: country club land out the back door, and a flight or a client dinner inside of half an hour. Private showings by appointment. ## Browse More Properties [15143 homes](https://teamthurber.com/zip/15143/) [Sewickley Heights neighborhood guide](https://teamthurber.com/neighborhoods/sewickley-heights/) [6-bedroom homes for sale](https://teamthurber.com/properties/sale/?beds=6) [Homes in similar price range](https://teamthurber.com/properties/sale/?minPrice=5625000&maxPrice=6875000) [Luxury homes over $1M](https://teamthurber.com/properties/sale/?minPrice=1000000) [New construction homes](https://teamthurber.com/properties/sale/?newConstruction=1) [Search all North Hills homes](https://teamthurber.com/properties/sale/) ## Similar Properties Auto-matched by price band and property type.
