As a recent visitor to The River's Edge of Oakmont, I wanted to send a quick update as the community grows...
So far in 2018, 4 new homeowners are moving in and we’ve taken 4 new contracts. I am also pleased to announce that residents now have access to EXCLUSIVE AMENITIES located at the riverfront Clubhouse! The fitness center, lounge with stone fireplace, social spaces, fire-pit and swimming pool along the Allegheny River will quickly become the center of this exceptional new community in Oakmont.
The feedback I have received on our Neville Townhome Floor Plan is overwhelming and they are selling fast. As of today, February 10, 2018, availability for this popular home along The Boulevard (in orange) and Creekside (purple) locations with the community are:
Lot #117 - $369,900
Lot #401 - $379,900
Lot #402 - $385,900
Pricing for the next phase of homes, located in the area that will become known as “Hometown”, has just been released. And, Brooks & Blair is working hard to provide more options for the buyers at The River’s Edge of Oakmont. The Lehigh Floor Plans offers a unique opportunity to build a one, two or three story home with a variety of choices.
From 1st floor Master Suite with Courtyard to a 3rd story Media Room and a Covered Deck, your options for an attached or unattached, single-family home are available in either the Grand Allee, Boulevard or the coming Hometown neighborhoods within The River’s Edge of Oakmont are limitless.

Needed to sell, but not ready to move
Another Chapel Harbor Listing SOLD
by Lisa Rutkowski / Howard Hanna
LisaRutkowski@howardhanna.com
This is the story of a home that was listed for 77 days before we found our qualified buyer. It begins with my client looking for a new home that did not exist... until it did.
Challenges:
- Marketing the property to target the right audience,
- Coordinating Open Houses and Private Showings,
- Securing a buyer who had the flexibility to work with the seller's potentially extended timeframe,
- Negotiating details of a complicated contract to guarantee that my seller was satisfied,
- Meeting with the home inspector and other professionals at the home as needed,
- Providing ideal comparables to support appraised value and ensure that my seller received the highest price possible for the home,
- Working closely with the buyer's agent, lender and closing company.
When my seller and I first sat down to discuss a game plan, there were a lot of decisions that still needed to be made. Was it necessary to sell before buying? If selling before buying, could my seller stay in the home after closing occurred? What is a realistic budget? What financing options exist? And finally, would I be able to help them find a home that checked all of their boxes? After exploring all of their options, my client ultimately decided that new construction was the way to go. My next step would be to sell their current home.
With carefully selected upgrades such as granite kitchen counter tops, ceramic master shower and surround-sound throughout, I could tell that this home was well loved.
With natural light filtering in through the huge bay window, the seller used the brightest room in the house as the home office and maximized the space. Located on the first floor through glass French doors, dual desks and a large walk-in closet neatly kept every stitch of paper in place allowing the rest of the house to provide serenity to the owner.
Up one flight of stairs and around the corner your eye is drawn to the beautifully kept oak floors shared by the kitchen, living room and powder room. To the left, a kitchen with center island, built-in desk and walk-in pantry, where it was easy to envision preparing meals while friends and family comfortably sat around a table large enough for a dinner party. Moving into the living room, a flat screen television streams sound throughout each room of the house modifying access and volume as desired.
The arc in the staircase continues to 2 bedrooms, each with their own full bathrooms and large walk-in closets. I think everyone would appreciate the convenience of the location of the laundry on this level of the home. On to the spacious 4th floor loft that anchors the soaring cathedral ceiling and dormer windows in the master suite.
Every transaction is unique, buyers and sellers don't always come to an easy agreement. Prior to finding our buyer, there were offers made but with terms that did not work for my seller. I found a financially qualified buyer, willing to pay the price that we asked for the house, and with the flexibility to allow my seller time to find another place to live while their new home was being built.
Location:
Chapel Harbor feels like home to me because of the friendships I've formed with its residents. As of today, I have moved happy clients throughout this community. If you are considering moving to or from this impeccable, riverfront neighborhood within the Fox Chapel Area School District, please call me.
Client's Comments:
"Lisa is very knowledgeable about the market. Lisa was attentive and always available to answer questions and address concerns. She makes her clients a priority, and as a result our home sold quickly. I would highly recommend her as an agent for a home sale or purchase."

Thank you for donating last weekend!
Despite the cold temperatures last Sunday, we had a great event supporting Habitat for Humanity of Greater Pittsburgh. Thank you to all those who donated last week! Keep in mind that the ReStore will except your donations all year long.
Donations will be sold at the Habitat ReStore in Edgewood, where recycled building materials and furniture are sold at a deep discount. It is a way to keep items out of the waste stream while helping families find affordable improvements for their homes, Cadman said.
O'Hara resident and Fox Chapel Area School Board member Lisa Rutkowski spearheaded the collection, hosted by Guardian Storage along Old Freeport Road.
Her goal was to promote the Habitat Restore but also to repay Habitat for Humanity for all of the goodwill poured into the Lower Valley.
“They worked on a home last summer in Sharpsburg and they fulfill a lot of need right here in our own communities,” Rutkowski said.
A house along Clifton Avenue, more than 100 years old, was rehabbed last summer for a family from Tanzania.
“This community supports these activities, but a lot of people don't know the work lands right in our backyard,” Rutkowski said.
Cadman said the local drop-off site was meant to offer convenience for residents who find it difficult to get to Edgewood. She said the group offers a pick-up service too by calling (412) 271-4663.
Despite the frigid temperatures, Cadman said the drive pulled in wall art, picture frames and other household items that will help stock the shelves at the ReStore, which is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
There also are special holiday hours from 3 to 7 p.m. Mondays.
“Habitat needs the support of the community, whether you want to donate to a good cause or simply get rid of unused household goods,” Rutkowski said.
“Items donated to the ReStore help fund Habitat's projects in the area, and really make a difference not just in the lives of the Habitat program families but the entire community.”
