About this home
542 N Fairmount is a beautifully updated 3-bedroom home with a separate income-producing apartment, a detached 2-car garage, and rare off-street parking in one of Pittsburgh’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Located in the heart of East Liberty, where street parking can often be a daily challenge, this property stands out with a private driveway and detached 2-car garage offering valuable convenience and flexibility. Above the garage sits a fully independent studio-style apartment currently generating guaranteed rental income of $1,100/month through December, providing immediate supplemental cash flow for the next owner. Beyond December, the apartment offers continued potential as a long-term rental, guest suite, private home office, or multi-generational living setup.
This move-in-ready home blends modern upgrades with original character and charm. Major improvements include a new roof, new basement concrete, professional basement waterproofing, sump pump installation, and an A/C and heating split system for year-round comfort. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances.
Inside the main home, you’ll find original hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, and a bright sun-filled dining room. All three bedrooms have been recently updated, along with two full bathrooms including a designer upstairs bath with a custom tiled shower and modern vanity.
The carriage-house apartment above the garage is a fully independent unit complete with a living area, bedroom space, efficiency kitchen with cooktop, and private feel separate from the main home.
Situated in a highly walkable location, the property offers quick access to Google and Duolingo, along with Pittsburgh’s top employers, universities, hospitals, and tech hubs. Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, local coffee shops, restaurants, and the green space of Highland Park are all just minutes away....
