47 Ralston Place

Welcome to 47 Ralston Place, a truly special historic home in the heart of Mount Lebanon—rich in character, beautifully maintained, and perfectly positioned for walkable living. Located directly across from Lincoln Elementary and just steps to the shops, dining, and cafés of Beverly Road, including Mediterra Cafe, this home offers the lifestyle today’s buyers are searching for. A full-length front porch with swing creates an inviting first impression, leading to a charming double-door entry and spacious foyer complete with original woodwork and a built-in storage bench. Inside, timeless architectural details shine—coffered ceilings, pocket doors, plate rails, and extensive built-ins—all showcasing exceptional craftsmanship rarely found today. The home offers five bedrooms, including a dramatic third-floor retreat measuring approximately 28x19. With exposed rafters and incredible scale, this flexible space can serve as a fifth bedroom, family room, or creative studio. A classic layout is further enhanced by a rare servant’s staircase, while original lighting, gleaming hardwood floors, and abundant natural light add warmth and authenticity throughout. Eight stained glass windows—including the featured “Little Boy Blue” design highlighted in Mount Lebanon Magazine—along with additional leaded glass transoms and cabinet doors create a truly distinctive aesthetic. Recent updates include the roof, gutters, soffit, and fascia. Pella windows are installed throughout. The immaculate basement provides exceptional storage and functionality, while a screened-in back porch offers a peaceful retreat. Additional highlights include off-street parking and close proximity to boutiques, florists, and everyday conveniences along Beverly Road. Homes with this level of preserved detail, history, and walkability rarely come available. 47 Ralston Place is more than a home—it’s a piece of Mount Lebanon’s architectural story.
