Property Description
The first floor runs living room to dining room to kitchen with nothing in the way. That kitchen won the Post-Gazette Renovation Inspiration Contest: custom maple cabinets, Absolute Black granite, a stainless apron-front sink set in the island, and cork floors, all worked into eighteen feet of width. A brick fireplace anchors the far end, and glass doors open to a courtyard under a full canopy of trees. The neighborhood put the house on its House and Garden Tour the year before the award.
The second floor holds the primary bedroom, with a fireplace of its own and French doors onto a balcony in the treetops, plus a walk-in closet, a separate office, and a full bath with a double vanity and a walk-in shower. Across the landing is the library, the largest room in the house and the easiest third bedroom anyone will ever add. The third floor is a second bedroom, with two skylights and a bath of its own.
One family kept it for thirty-four years. The current owners spent the last two on everything that does not show. Roof, siding, and gutters replaced in 2024. Electrical brought to code. Basement French drain, sump pump, and dehumidifier. A new building drain, and a cured-in-place sewer liner run to the municipal tap in 2026. Every invoice is on file.
The detached garage holds two cars. On a twenty-foot lot in the Mexican War Streets Historic District, that is the rarest thing here.
Walk Score 96. Allegheny Commons sits at the end of the neighborhood with Lake Elizabeth, a dog park, the farmers market, tennis and pickleball, playgrounds, and the National Aviary inside it. Commonplace Coffee, Wise County Biscuits, Monterey Pub, the Mattress Factory, and Randyland are all a walk from the front step. Western Avenue and East Ohio Street handle dinner, the North Shore handles the stadiums, and downtown is minutes across the bridge.
