About this home
A different kind of Pittsburgh city living. 5501 Butler Street is a contemporary Lawrenceville townhome offering a combination increasingly difficult to find in Pittsburgh: newer construction, approximately 2,000 square feet of living space, a two-car garage, private outdoor space, low-maintenance ownership, and exceptional connectivity to Downtown, the Strip District, Shadyside, and the East End. Offered for the first time, this distinctive residence was selected as the developer's private home at Mews on Butler and features elevated finishes and selections beyond standard specifications. Barely lived in, the home offers the appeal of like-new construction without sacrificing the character, walkability, and convenience of an established Pittsburgh neighborhood. Inside, an open, light-filled main level features wide-plank hardwood flooring and a natural connection between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The kitchen pairs marble countertops and shaker-style cabinetry with a Viking Professional appliance package, gas range, built-in microwave drawer, upgraded ventilation hood, pot filler, custom organizers, and under-counter water filtration. The primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath with rain shower and multiple spray options. A polished-concrete entry level adds architectural character and flexible living space, while the private terrace with gas and electrical connections creates an extension of the home for outdoor entertaining and everyday living. A full laundry setup and two-car garage add the practical conveniences often difficult to find in Pittsburgh city homes. Location further distinguishes 5501 Butler. Public transportation and hospital shuttle access are immediately nearby, providing convenient connections to major Pittsburgh medical and employment centers. Lawrenceville dining and neighborhood amenities are close at hand, while the Strip District, Downtown, Shadyside, and the East End are all easily accessible. For buyers searching across Pittsburgh rather than within a single neighborhood, 5501 Butler presents a compelling alternative to both luxury condominium living and the maintenance demands of an older city home. It offers the privacy and independence of a townhome with the features today's urban buyer increasingly seeks: newer construction, approximately 2,000 square feet, a two-car garage, private outdoor living, walkability, low-maintenance ownership, and connectivity. This is the Pittsburgh city residence for the buyer who wants more than a location—the space to live comfortably, the convenience to move easily throughout the city, and a home designed for a modern, lock-and-leave lifestyle. Tax abatement in place through 2029. A curated furnishings package is also available for a turnkey opportunity.
Upper Lawrenceville, located between Lower Lawrenceville and Stanton Heights, is a residential and industrial Pittsburgh neighborhood with brick rowhouses and a river-valley streetscape. Butler Street sets the tempo, with coffee counters, small galleries, and chef-driven dining clustered around the Butler Street and 52nd Street intersection. Community pillars include Arsenal Cider House & Wine Cellar, Row House Cinema, and the New Amsterdam. Side streets mix tight-lot homes, converted warehouses, and pocket greens, while the Allegheny River edge frames long views and working rail lines. The atmosphere reads creative and practical, with storefronts that keep the sidewalks active into the evening.
