120 E 21st Ave, Homestead, PA 15120

Marking Atlas Estates' third renovation in Munhall is 120 E 21st Ave: a 3-bedroom farmhouse-style dwelling that's held its ground since 1920. On par with its neighbors, the home's exterior is so last century (it's a compliment). The combination of gray-blue accents and white brick emits a classic, almost-Southern feel, while subtle pops of teal foreshadow the interior's mixed modern-traditional aesthetic. While not much is known about the past of this particular house, remains of its original era--even post-restoration--are prominent. Several exposed brick fireplaces offset the crisp (and continued) blue-on-white theme, as well as the kitchen's subway tile, stainless appliances, and granite counters. Custom woodworking--like the kitchen's breakfast bar and ceiling fixture--are fresh additions, though their ruggedness aptly complements perhaps the home's most stunning original feature. Seriously, have you ever seen a staircase so perfect?
