Historic Pittsburgh Lives On.

5025 Castleman Street, built in 1892 by one of Shadyside’s most notable founding families, stands today as a beautiful portal to the romance of days gone by. Lovingly renovated and preserved for more than 40 years by its most recent owner, it’s infused with a genteel spirit inspired by historic Pittsburgh.

The home was built by Caroline Jones Aiken, widow of David Aiken Jr., whose farmland became the neighborhood now known as Shadyside. Caroline (“Callie” to her husband) christened the town Shadyside after a town in a beloved book she had read.

A Home with Style and Stature

As described in Landmark Architecture: Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, this home is classical in style with Ionic columns and touches of Queen Anne. The parlor-style living room features a fireplace and built-in bookshelves and the dining room with fireplace is accented by oak cabinets designed by architect Sylvester Damianos.

Historic Integrity with Modern Accents

The expanded kitchen and attached back porch create a light and airy space with plentiful surfaces for preparing everything from Sunday morning breakfast to multiple courses for large-scale entertaining. On the second and third floors, three bedrooms and two offices bring historic charm to today’s work-from-home lifestyle.

The Romance of Days Gone By

A historic Pittsburgh home with touches of Anne of Green Gables. A sparkling gem amidst the grand Shadyside homes of Pittsburgh’s industrial titans, 5025 Castleman Street is a rare and coveted address.
