Welcome to 1518 Pennock Road, a 3BR 2BA Dutch Colonial in Brighton Heights. This charming house sits on a flat ~1/4 acre lot, with a 2 car garage, fenced in yard, level driveway, and has tons of finished space inside. Since 2015, this home has seen extensive updates including all new windows, garage doors, gutters and downspouts, exterior paint, a renovated kitchen, updated furnace and central air, a new driveway, beautifully renovated bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors, a finished basement, block glass basement windows, re-sided garage, rebuilt side porch railings and columns, and numerous additional improvements throughout. When you step in the front door, like a classic center-hall colonial, you can go left to the living room, which opens onto the private side porch, or right to the dining room, which leads to the kitchen and breakfast room. Upstairs there are 3 nice sized bedrooms, and a renovated full bath. The third floor has tons of space and can be used as another bedroom, home office, playroom, etc. The basement is partially finished with another full bath. The garage is huge and has tons of room for storage and a workbench. This home is truly special, located on a quiet, cobblestone street, just 12 minutes from downtown and 15 minutes from all the amenities of the north hills. What are you waiting for? This could be the one!
Brighton Heights, located between Riverview Park and the Ohio River, is a residential and hillside Pittsburgh neighborhood with river overlooks and a classic main-street strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along California Avenue near Davis Avenue, where corner taverns, longtime eateries, and small storefronts line the sidewalks. Community pillars include the Brighton Heights Citizens Federation, the California Avenue business corridor, and Riverview Park’s Observatory Hill. Brick rowhouses and early-20th-century singles sit on steep streets that open to skyline glimpses. Trails and ballfields in Riverview Park shape daily routines, while the riverfront edges keep the geography front and center. A compact, walkable grid around California Avenue supports errands and coffee runs without leaving the neighborhood.
