Meticulously-maintained, great starter home! Additional lot (35-F-100) is included in sale and, w/ some investment, could easily double the size of your already awesome backyard OR act as a parking pad for addt'l off-street parking! Updates throughout, incl. kitchen and main bathroom, new windows, 2010 roof, gutters, and sidewalks. 2nd full bathroom in the basement (this ain't your mama's Pgh Potty!) offers a convenient place to shower after working in the yard. Every room has been freshly painted in on-trend neutrals. Easily walkable to the shops & restaurants of Beechview Avenue, and the "Fallowfield Station" T stop. Incredibly close proximity to Banksville Road, Downtown Pittsburgh, and Beechview Elementary & Spray Park. This truly is a MUST-SEE property!
Beechview, located between Mount Washington and Dormont, is a hillside and streetcar Pittsburgh neighborhood with steep stair streets and a compact business strip. Broadway Avenue concentrates the neighborhood’s character, with corner bakeries, taquerias, barbershops, and small storefronts clustered along the tracks. Rows of early-20th-century brick and frame houses step down the slopes, with porches facing tight blocks and long views between rooftops. The Beechview Seldom Seen Greenway adds wooded trails and a quieter edge to the street grid. The T’s Beechview Station ties daily routines to light-rail platforms and walkable errands. Community pillars include Las Palmas, the Beechview branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, and the Beechview Farmers Market.
