About this home
Perched high above the city in Pittsburgh’s highly sought-after South Side Slopes, this fully renovated home delivers the perfect blend of modern updates, flexible living space, and rare outdoor amenities—something you simply don’t find often in the city.
From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a charming front porch and an elevated setting that offers a true “top of the hill” feel. Inside, the home is filled with natural light, high ceilings, and a clean, modern design that flows effortlessly from room to room.
The main level features a spacious living room with built-ins, a dedicated dining area perfect for entertaining, and a beautifully updated kitchen complete with navy shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful finishes throughout. Whether you’re hosting guests or enjoying a quiet night in, this space was designed to function and impress.
Upstairs, you’ll find a well-appointed primary suite with a walk-in closet and private ensuite bath, along with additional bedrooms and another full bathroom—ideal for family, guests, or work-from-home flexibility. The massive third-floor space offers even more versatility and can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, media room, or creative studio.
The finished lower level is where this property truly separates itself. With a private entrance, full bathroom, and multiple bonus rooms, this space is perfect for a guest suite, in-law setup, rental opportunity, or even a potential Airbnb unit. Whether you’re looking to offset your mortgage or create a multi-generational living situation, the possibilities here are endless.
Outside, the property sits on a rare double lot, offering a combination of usable yard space, patio areas, and multiple outdoor living zones including a wraparound deck and lower patio. This is a true standout feature for city living—perfect for entertaining, pets, gardening, or simply enjoying your own private outdoor retreat. There is also strong potential to add off-street parking, adding even more long-term value.
Major updates provide peace of mind, including a newer roof, windows, appliances (2024), and water heater (2025), making this a true move-in ready opportunity.
Located just minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh, Carson Street, South Side Flats, and major highways, this home offers convenient access to restaurants, nightlife, shopping, universities, and hospitals—making it ideal for both owner-occupants and investors alike.
Whether you’re searching for a primary residence, a turnkey rental, or a high-demand Airbnb opportunity in one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic neighborhoods, this property checks every box.
