Enjoying all the charms of a Georgetown dwelling without the high cost of living in the nation's capital are the owners of this Shadyside townhome.

Built circa 1850 by Joseph Woodwell, a transplanted New York City cabinetmaker, the home has since been enhanced with renovations by architect John Billings, former owner Mark Evers of Mark Evers Antiques & Fine Art and John Hobart Miller.

The chef-designed kitchen features Rutt handcrafted cabinets, granite countertops and Thermador and SubZero appliances.

With three floors, five bedrooms and 3¹/₂ baths, the home provides plenty of room to roam.

The two-story marble entrance hall features a floor-to-ceiling arched window and a crystal chandelier. Impressive, solid mahogany doors, which once graced the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, open to the formal living room. A Thomas Jefferson window opens to create a pathway to the rear garden.

The master bedroom's cozy appeal starts with a yellow Italian marble manteled fireplace, custom-silk window treatments and wall-to-wall Stark carpeting. The master bath is paneled in antique English oak, which originally adorned the William Randolph Hearst home in San Simeon, Calif. And for a bit of Pittsburgh history there's the guest bath chandelier that once hung in the Jenkins Arcade.
