226 Ferry Street

226 Ferry Street is a brick Foursquare in the Sewickley Historic District, a short walk from the shops and restaurants of the Village and from Sewickley Academy. It sits on a corner lot that fronts two streets, with three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a finished lower level, and a detached two car garage. Built in 1940, it keeps its original character and has been updated where it counts. Hardwood floors run through the main level, alongside original wood doors, deep millwork, crown molding, and a substantial newel post at the staircase. The living room centers on a stone fireplace with a wood mantel, and a glass door is one of several original details. French doors open from the dining room, where there is wainscoting and a brass chandelier, onto a covered side porch with a swing and brick columns, with a stone patio below. The kitchen has been opened up and renovated with cream cabinetry, granite counters, a tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed and pendant lighting, and a center island. Upstairs, the primary suite has an updated bath with a frameless glass shower with mosaic tile, a separate soaking tub, a double vanity, and a private water closet. Two more bedrooms and a finished lower level game room add to the living space. The unfinished attic space could be finished to provide even more useable space. Out front, a covered porch with brick columns and a fire pit looks over the neighborhood, and the side porch and patio make a second outdoor room. The riverfront and Beaver Street are a few minutes away. Systems are documented: the main roof was replaced in 2022, the porch roof in 2019, and the garage roof in 2014. Heating is natural gas hot water across three zones, with central air conditioning, copper plumbing, a radon mitigation system, and an active pest control contract. Public water and sewer.
