When it came time for the Basman family to list their home in Pine, they didn’t have to look far for the perfect agent — close friend and RE/MAX agent Lisa Haberstroh has spent countless hours in their home.

“The home has everything one could dream of having,” she says. “It’s simply breathtaking, rare, one of a kind.” 

Haberstroh is referencing not only the sprawling home itself, but the many high-end stone finishes in the 9,000-square-foot brick manse. Homeowner Emre Basman has made many changes and updates since purchasing the home in 2021. He also owns Pittsburgh-based Armina Stone — which allows him to source rare products from around the world. 

One of his favorite features is the home’s newly remodeled, European-style kitchen, which Basman says has “super exotic countertops.” That includes an island — lit from within so that it glows — made of fine stone that cost $250,000. 

“The seller put a lot of thought and heart into the new design of the home,” says Haberstroh. 

Situated in the small neighborhood of Silver Pines, which contains only 12 upscale homes, 103 Silver Pines Drive  is now on the market for $3.9 million. 

Featuring six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the home’s primary suite contains a floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace, sitting room, bathroom and luxurious closet that Haberstroh says resembles a high-end clothing store. The primary suite bathroom has been featured in several design magazines. 

Before the Basmans bought this home, it was owned by former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. The home, adds Basman, has since hosted many other celebrities and pro athletes. 

“We have had a lot of home parties and have welcomed more than 500 people,” he says. “We did a lot of charity events, especially for our beloved Steel City Impact nonprofit organization.” 

While there’s no doubt the inside of the home is stunning, the outdoor space is where most of the fun happens. With an inground pool, basketball court and interchangeable turf field, plus a luxury treehouse dubbed the “Sky Box,” it may be the most fun backyard in the entire city. 

The treehouse — which was featured on a 2018 episode of Treehouse Masters when Brown owned the home — has two-story glass walls, a kitchen and a ladder to the upper loft. 

“We play volleyball, basketball, soccer, foot tennis and, of course, watch football games in the treehouse,” says Basman. “That Sky Box is an unheard-of-kind-of unique space.” 

Keeping the party going is the finished basement, which houses a gym, sauna and theater room. Spread across 3 acres, the home also has a four-car garage. 

Despite the size and high-end feel, the home is designed for family living; the floorplan has an easy flow that manages to feel cozy in all the right ways, Haberstroh says. 

“If someone tried to build this house with all the amenities, it would be double or triple the price, not to mention it would be impossible to get some of these finishes,” Haberstroh says. “It’s like your own park with everything. You never have to leave.”

Basman says he and his wife, Andrea, welcomed their first son while living in the home, which is just one of the wonderful memories they created there. Haberstroh adds the kitchen is her favorite feature of the home — not just for the design, but for the time she’s spent there laughing over a good meal with neighbors.  

“This is not just a regular listing to me, but very sentimental,” she says.
