About this home
This two-bedroom, one-bath row home is a piece of Pittsburgh architectural history. Designed by Frederick G. Scheibler, Jr., 1689 Jancey Street is part of Vilsack Row in Morningside and is the last home in the row to retain its original flat-roof porch design. The flat roof preserves the wider interior opening Scheibler designed and captures his original vision of porches, entrances, and windows as openings cut into a continuous flat plane. That covered front porch is a nice retreat, with some privacy because of the way Scheibler designed these entries.
The living room keeps its period character with dark wood-look floors, an arched decorative fireplace, and a notably wide arched opening into the dining room, which is more of an architectural statement than a standard doorway, all details that feel right at home in a Scheibler design.
The renovated kitchen is where the home shifts fully into the present. It's a well-planned galley layout with bright white cabinets, sleek grey quartz countertops, and a narrow built-in fridge tucked neatly at the end to keep the lines clean. A window over the sink brings in natural light, making the space easy and pleasant to work in. There's more counter space here than you'd expect, and the layout puts it all within reach. The kitchen opens to the dining room through a seating island, so guests can pull up a stool and be part of the action without crowding the cook.
Upstairs, the oversized window in the primary bedroom really opens things up, bringing in generous light and a sweeping view of tree-lined Morningside that feels more treehouse than row home. Both bedrooms are well-sized with large closets and a fresh bathroom.
The home has a clean, dry basement, a new roof, and a newly rebuilt porch roof. Out back, a partially fenced backyard gives you a private outdoor space, whether you want to put in a garden or just have a spot to relax and enjoy some fresh air.
The location is one of Morningside's best. You're a short walk to the neighborhood's own business district, with a coffee shop, pub, and everyday errands close at hand. Drop down the hill and you're in Lawrenceville. Head the other direction, and you're into the heart of the East End. Getting into town is easy from here in any direction.
For buyers who appreciate thoughtful design, architectural significance, and a home that holds its original character while living in the present, this is a genuine find....
