Welcome to 5144 Butler St, a beautifully updated mixed-use investment property in the heart of Lawrenceville. The building consists of four spaces: a commercial storefront, one 1-bed/1-bath apartment, and two 2-bed/1-bath apartments. A parking pad at the rear of the property provides two dedicated off-street spaces—an uncommon bonus in this location. Recent updates include newer furnaces, a restored front facade, one remodeled kitchen, new windows, and additional improvements throughout. The property generates a gross monthly rent of $4,945, with annual leases in place through summer 2026. Tenant retention is strong, with multiple residents renewing in most years. A well-maintained, income-producing asset in one of Pittsburgh’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
