Affordable, Accessible and Aspirational Living. Perched above the Monongahela River, The Downer House is a stately Colonial Revival residence built in 1903 by local developer Samuel Miller Downer. With over 3,800 square feet across three finished floors, this six-bedroom, three-bath home blends historic grandeur with thoughtful modern updates. Original fir and pine floors, fluted inlays, barley twist balusters, custom millwork, and coved plaster ceilings showcase exceptional craftsmanship. The six bedrooms are served by three fully renovated baths while a flexible bonus room on the third floor is ideal for today’s hybrid work-from-home lifestyle. A secondary staircase off the kitchen, equipped with a stairlift, adds convenience and accessibility between levels. A wrap-around porch, rear courtyard, and two-car garage provide elegant outdoor living and convenient flat rear access. Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years, The Downer House is ready for its next chapter.
