127 1/2 Banner Way

Heated Inground Pool. Contemporary Architecture. Central Lawrenceville. 127 ½ Banner Way is a custom-built architectural residence centered around one of the most coveted amenities in city living: a private heated pool. Designed to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, the home delivers a level of lifestyle, entertaining potential, and modern design rarely found in Lawrenceville.
The experience begins on the main living level, where a NanaWall folding glass system opens directly to the poolside terrace, creating a seamless connection between the interior and outdoor living spaces. Expansive glass, clean architectural lines, and thoughtfully curated finishes establish a modern aesthetic that feels sophisticated without sacrificing comfort. At the center of the home, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops with waterfall edges and a full-height backsplash, Bosch appliances, built-in pantry storage, a wine refrigerator, and integrated smart lighting.
A striking floating staircase with oak treads and frameless glass railings serves as a sculptural centerpiece, connecting multiple levels filled with natural light from oversized windows. Three separate outdoor living spaces, including expansive decks and private balconies, extend the home's footprint beyond its walls and create multiple settings for entertaining, dining, or relaxing above the city.
The upper levels offer three bedrooms, two full baths, and a bonus family room with its own powder room, private balcony, and additional deck finished with bluestone pavers. A finished lower-level game room provides additional flexibility for recreation, fitness, media space, or a home office, while generous storage areas support everyday living.
Outside, the heated pool becomes the focal point of the property. Surrounded by stamped and dyed concrete, composite privacy fencing, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, the outdoor environment feels more reminiscent of a boutique hotel retreat than a traditional city residence. Whether hosting summer gatherings or enjoying a quiet evening swim, the setting offers a lifestyle rarely available within Pittsburgh's urban core.
Central Lawrenceville continues to attract buyers seeking a neighborhood that blends culture, connectivity, and everyday convenience. Acclaimed dining destinations including Pusadee's Garden, Poulet Bleu, Morcilla, Piccolo Forno, Grapperia, Parlor Dim Sum, and Mediterra are all nearby, while the seasonal Lawrenceville Farmers Market brings local vendors, fresh produce, and artisan goods to the neighborhood throughout the warmer months. The location also provides quick access to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, West Penn Hospital, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, the Strip District, Downtown Pittsburgh, and major employment centers throughout the East End.
For buyers seeking contemporary architecture, exceptional indoor-outdoor living, and one of Lawrenceville's most unique residential offerings, 127 ½ Banner Way represents a rare opportunity to own a home designed around experiences rather than simply square footage.
