This incredible home spans four fully finished levels in this renovated turn-of-the-century American Foursquare in Pittsburgh's Fineview neighborhood. Past the covered front porch fitted with dual bench swings and an enclosed tiled entry vestibule, restored woodwork guides you into a dedicated main-floor living or office space equipped with pocket doors and an anchor decorative fireplace. Across the grand foyer, the formal dining room connects directly to a bright family wrapped in five oversized windows that pull daylight across beautiful hardwood floors. The updated kitchen pairs soft-close cabinetry and white prep counters with a seated center island and a vented gas range set against exposed brick. Direct walkout access leads from the kitchen onto an elevated rear deck overlooking the private yard.
Upstairs on the second level, a dedicated laundry room eliminates trips down to the basement. Sharing this floor, the primary suite showcases original hardwood flooring, a decorative fireplace, and an adjoining walk-through dressing room lined with built-in cabinetry. The primary bedroom connects to an ensuite bath featuring a double vanity, clawfoot soaking tub, and custom ceiling-height tile shower. A secondary bedroom on this level includes a walk-in closet and direct access to the completely updated hallway bath. Rising to the third floor, two massive bedrooms share a skylit full bath, with one offering built-in storage window benches and walkout access to a sheltered private balcony framing views across the North Side hills.
Down on the walk-out lower level, a finished recreation space provides high ceilings, lots of recess the lights and daylight windows. A fifth bedroom and full bathroom establishing an ideal setup for extended houseguests.
Modern infrastructure supports all four finished levels with dual-zone central air conditioning driven by two exterior condenser units, upgraded PEX water supply lines, and a high-capacity hot water tank with an expansion tank. Have peace of mind with newer custom windows, insulation, drywall, electric, plumbing, HVAC systems, and roof. Ideally located just minutes to AGH, restaurants, the library, the National Aviary, parks, museums, stadiums, and downtown.
