The Paddock is the last remaining Sewickley Heights residence designed by Alden & Harlow, the firm behind the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and the Duquesne Club, commissioned by Adelaide Burguinn. High ceilings, millwork no budget reproduces today, and rooms balanced across the plan the way that firm always drew them. The grand hall once held a twenty-eight-foot Christmas tree with room to spare. Off it are the formal dining room, the sunlit Morning Room, and the Billiard Room. More than six bedrooms above. The grounds give the property its name: long lawns, a paddock, a kennel, and mature trees that keep it private, minutes from Sewickley village, Quaker Valley schools, downtown Pittsburgh and the airport. The sellers have handled the expensive work: new roof with new gutters and downspouts, new septic system, newly paved asphalt drive. The structure is sound; what remains is finish work a buyer would want to control anyway. A restoration for an owner who sees the work as the reason to buy it.
