Some homes stand out because of their finishes. Others because of their location. At 189 34th Street, it's the combination of exposed brick, three finished levels, an entire private primary floor, and a location just one block from Butler Street that makes this home so compelling.
Inside, exposed brick, crown molding, recessed lighting, and hardwood flooring across the main level establish the tone immediately. The living and dining spaces unfold naturally toward the rear of the home, where the kitchen naturally becomes the focal point. Dark espresso shaker cabinetry, a generous quartz island, JennAir refrigerator, gas range, and dishwasher are paired with a serene blue subway tile backsplash that draws the eye and gives the space its own identity. A custom wet bar with a sink, beverage refrigerator, overhead wine rack, and additional cabinetry completes the space, offering a feature that's rarely found in homes of this size. Tucked just beyond, the renovated powder room continues the home's design-forward feel with botanical wallpaper, modern tile flooring, updated fixtures, and distinctive finishes.
Just outside, the fenced rear patio provides a private outdoor escape that's perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee before work or unwinding in the evening.
The second floor offers two spacious bedrooms, new carpet installed in 2026, hardwood flooring in the hallway, conveniently located laundry hookups, and a full bathroom featuring a double bowl furniture-style vanity, modern tile flooring, and a tiled tub and shower surround. One bedroom is accented by an exposed brick wall that adds texture and architectural interest.
Occupying the entire third floor, the primary suite feels like its own private level within the home. Original hardwood floors, a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, a spacious walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with a tiled shower, double bowl furniture-style vanity, and a transom window complete the space, creating a retreat that's uncommon in many Lawrenceville homes.
The home has benefited from a number of thoughtful seller improvements, including a new roof (2024), a professionally repainted interior, new carpet (2026), and a fully renovated first-floor powder room.
One block from Butler Street, you'll enjoy convenient access to neighborhood favorites including Espresso A Mano, Poulet Bleu, Piccolo Forno, Morcilla, and Eleventh Hour Brewing, along with the boutiques, coffee shops, and local businesses that have helped make Lawrenceville one of Pittsburgh's most sought-after neighborhoods. UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, the Strip District, Downtown Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pittsburgh are all just minutes away, offering exceptional convenience for work, dining, and everything the city has to offer.
