This move-in-ready 2-bedroom home offers an affordable opportunity just minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh, with flexible appeal for a first-time buyer, city commuter, or investor. Currently operated as a short-term rental, the Seller can provide documented revenue history to qualified buyers, offering valuable insight into the property’s established use. Recent updates, hardwood floors, newer roof and mechanicals, bonus flex space, balcony off the kitchen, walk-out basement, additional storage, natural gas utilities, and included appliances add everyday function and value. Convenient to major routes, Pittsburgh destinations, and the Roxian Theatre, with ongoing investment and revitalization activity in the greater McKees Rocks community. Furniture may be included with an attractive offer, creating the potential for a truly turnkey purchase. Move in, furnish less, or explore continued income-producing use—this property offers options from day one.
Hardwood floors, bonus space, and a balcony off the kitchen give this home more functionality than typical comparable properties. Walk-out basement offers added storage and includes a cold cellar beneath the porch. Natural gas utilities, ceiling fans, window A/C units, and water heater replaced in 2022. Mint condition newer appliances included. Fireplace adds character (currently unused). Property has passed occupancy inspection and is certified for occupancy. HomeServe coverage is currently active and may be continued at the new owner’s discretion. Strong opportunity for owner-occupant or investor seeking flexible use.

Newly updated and charming home with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Newer roof and hardwood floors. Conveniently located, and within walking distance of local shopping. Easily access downtown Pittsburgh, the North Shore, and the Southside areas, by car or through public transportation. Easy to get to the airport! Would be great as an owner-occupied property, a rental, or Airbnb. This home is a must see!
