What the owner loves about this home
What I love most about this home is the combination of space, charm, and location. It has the feel of a classic Pittsburgh home, with three full stories, generous rooms, and a layout that gives you flexibility whether you want multiple bedrooms, home offices, guest space, or additional living areas.
The location is what makes it especially unique. Emerson Street offers a quieter residential feel while still being right in the center of Shadyside’s lifestyle. You are just steps from neighborhood shops, cafes, restaurants, parks, and everyday conveniences, with easy access to Walnut Street, East Liberty, Bakery Square, universities, hospitals, and public transit.
It is rare to find this much space in such a walkable, established neighborhood. The home offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful street to come home to, and one of Pittsburgh’s most vibrant neighborhoods just outside your door.
Currently tenant-occupied. Please do not disturb tenants. Serious inquiries only; showings by appointment.
