Imagine a charming one to two-bedroom home perched on Mount Washington, on a quiet treed street. This updated and well-built residence is a perfect blend of modern amenities and classic appeal. The exterior showcases a timeless design, with sturdy construction that speaks to the quality of the build. The house has a timeless, classic look with its rich red brick façade, complemented by white trim around the doors.
The home is just minutes away from the famous Duquesne Incline, a historic funicular that has been in operation since May 20, 1877. This proximity allows for easy access to the city below, as well as to the iconic overlook on Grandview Avenue, offering breathtaking views of downtown Pittsburgh, and where you can take in the panoramic views of Pittsburgh's skyline and its three rivers.
This property combines the convenience of city living with the tranquility of a hillside retreat, making it an ideal home for those who appreciate both modern living and historic charm. It offers this charming front porch, which is 16 feet in length and 5 feet in depth, attached to an all-brick home which enables low maintanance and extremely low utility costs!
The covered porch itself is a simple yet inviting design, with sturdy brick columns and the rich epoxy coating of the floor, offering privacy and a sense of being away from the hustle and bustle, even though downtown Pittsburgh is a short 7-minute drive away, and it is just 4 minutes to Grandview Avenue and its spectacular, panoramic views, and Grandview’s restaurants and shops; so very Pgh “Soho”!
In the last four years, outdoor living space has become as important as the indoor of our homes; folks are working from home more, and creating more personal spaces to entertain with our family and friends. This front porch is also a perfect spot to have your morning coffee and English Muffin because the Epoxy with Flake finish on the porch floor feels so darned good on your bare feet!!
Picture a cozy, secluded back porch, measuring 9 feet by 4 feet, seamlessly connecting to a slightly larger patio of 16 feet by 7 feet. This intimate outdoor space, tucked between tall, leafy trees, feels like a hidden retreat—a modern-day tree fort where you can escape the world without leaving home. The rich red brick walls of the house surround the area, creating a warm and inviting backdrop.
The porch & patio floors are coated with a durable, low-maintenance Epoxy Flake finish, adding contemporary style with its speckled design mimicking natural stone. This finish looks great and easy to clean, making it perfect for any activity. The patio offers just enough space for a cozy seating area, maybe even a hammock or a cushioned lounger, where you can unwind and snooze away the afternoon.
String lights or lanterns could be hung around the space, ready to cast a soft, inviting glow for evening get-togethers. This space is all about fun and relaxation, whether it's hosting a laid-back party with friends or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of your own private, tree-shaded retreat. The porch is the ideal spot for a small table and a couple of chairs, perfect for sipping morning coffee or enjoying a casual meal.
In a city setting where parking can be a daily challenge, this home stands out for its multiple parking options. The integral garage offers security and convenience, the curb spot in front adds versatility, and the frequently available spots across the street provide added peace of mind. Altogether, these features enhance the practicality and appeal of this urban home, making it easier to live and entertain without the usual parking headaches.
In addition to the garage, there's a curb spot right in front of the garage, which the owner has used to park a large car and a Harley motorcycle. The property also benefits from two curb spots directly across the street. These spots are open more often than not, providing extra parking options for guests or a third or fourth vehicle.
This home offers a rare and highly valuable parking setup in a city environment where only on-street parking is typically the norm and often in short supply. This property features a one-car integral garage, providing secure, weather-protected parking under the houseand on street level—a significant convenience for urban living.

VIRTUALY STAGED A long wall backs both the Dining Room and the Kitchen and is perfectly suited for a 9-foot entertainment center, which serves both the Living Room and Dining Room, reinforcing the flow between these spaces.

This combination of features creates a serene and inviting master bedroom, a true haven for sleep and relaxation.
The Seller will remove the furniture or sell it to the buyer. Architectural details add to the room’s charm, with 6-panel doors and windows framed with fluted molding topped with architectural Roman Rosettes, all carefully painted to match the room’s tones. The owner has thoughtfully balanced these features with 10-inch baseboards, enhancing the room’s cohesive design.

The 8'5" high ceilings and walls are finished with a hand-applied hard coat and custom paint, providing a unique, textured look that speaks of quality.
