    What's special

    Large private backyard
    This classic Cape Cod in the South Hills pairs a long list of recent improvements with a large, private backyard and one of the most convenient locations in the area. Inside, the living room takes in plenty of natural light, and hardwood floors run through much of the main level and two of the three bedrooms. The third bedroom has new carpet. The kitchen includes black stainless steel appliances with an oversized refrigerator, and new flooring was installed in the kitchen, the full bathroom, and the mudroom. New lighting and fresh paint inside and out, and the floor plan is flexible enough to adapt to how you live. The backyard offers open space with room for gardening, play, entertaining, or simply spreading out. Other improvements include a new roof (2024) and a new water heater 2026, and privacy fence 2026. The full basement holds the laundry area and generous storage, and the integral garage adds parking and extra functional space. The driveway also has its own traffic signal, which makes turning onto Bower Hill Road far easier than you might expect. St. Clair Hospital is a short distance away, as are many of the South Hills’ most established shopping, dining, and recreation options. The Galleria of Mt. Lebanon and South Hills Village cover most shopping needs, Trader Joe’s and Fresh Thyme Market are close for groceries, and Robb Hollow Park is nearby for time outdoors. Uptown Mt. Lebanon offers independent restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and local shops. Route 19, I-79, I-376, Pittsburgh International Airport, the universities, and Downtown Pittsburgh are all within easy reach. With substantial updates, generous outdoor space, and an exceptionally convenient location, this Cape Cod is ready for its next owner.
