Looking for a recently renovated, low maintenance home, located in a wonderful, bedroom community with ease of access to amenities and highways? Look no further than 14 Woodlawn Avenue in Crafton. This home is steps away from the Idlewild bus station, a few minutes’ drive to shopping, amenities and I-376. It is approximately 8 miles from downtown Pittsburgh and 15 miles from the Pittsburgh International Airport. The community of Crafton was rated as being the “Best Place to Raise Your Kids” by Bloomberg Businessweeks in 2011. It offers a library, community center and a walkable historic downtown district with architecture ranging from mid-century modern to Victorian charm. This two bedroom, one full bath, 990 square foot ranch was designed to maximize living space and storage. It offers a spacious, freshly painted living room with new lighted ceiling fan and built-in shelving. Open to the living room is the dining area with new lighted ceiling fan and completely updated kitchen: new stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and electric glass top stove, new white cabinetry, and man-made counter. New luxury vinyl flooring carries throughout the living areas. Both generously sized bedrooms with ample closets have been recently painted and new carpet installed in 2021. The full bath was renovated in 2018 with updated tub/shower, toilet, and ceramic flooring. Two nicely sized closets are located in hallway to bedrooms/bath. Off the kitchen is a utility room housing the furnace, water heater, storage cabinet and hook-ups for stackable washer/dryer. For convenience a kitchen/utility room door leads to level, wooded back yard. A covered front porch allows you to enjoy the outdoors, rain or shine. The exterior has been recently painted, the stainless-steel roof recently coated and new sidewalk was installed in late 2021. The driveway affords off-street parking for two vehicles. The lot is approximately 70’x206’ (0.33 acres). Current taxes of $1564 are based on assessed value of $40,000. Built in 1949, this home is one of approximately 1500 Lustron homes still in existence. The interior was “designed with an eye toward modern age, space-saving and ease of cleaning.” The Lustron company built 2498 of these enamel-steel prefabricated homes (steel framing system with vertical steel studs and roof-ceiling trusses with enameled-steel panels inside and out) on concrete slabs between 1948 and 1950. They offered a home that would “defy weather, wear, and time” in order to allow the owner “maximize pleasure and minimize work.” As a primary residence or investment property, 14 Woodlawn is a winner! (Estimated rent for this property is $900-1,100/month.) Taxes, lot size and room sizes are approximate. Buyer should verify all information. Owner is PA licensed real estate agent.
