219 Curtis St, Pittsburgh, PA 15235

This stone cottage has the curb appeal to stop you in your tracks and the updates to keep you there. The stone exterior is striking, the driveway and front retaining walls are newly redone, and the covered front porch is the perfect spot to settle in on a warm summer evening. Step inside and find an open floor plan and gleaming hardwood floors that connect a generous living room and dining room. Original details like the classic white mantel surrounding the fireplace, an ornate iron railing, and glass door knobs with keys give this home its character. And throughout, those timeless features combine with thoughtful modern updates, making this home the complete package inside and out. The kitchen has been updated with white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. Perfect for a cook looking for function, storage, and countertop space, with a nice view of the backyard. And a main-level attached garage makes it easy to carry the groceries right into the kitchen. Upstairs, three bedrooms with closet space have all been freshly painted, as has the rest of the home, and the full bath feels like a spa with a rainfall showerhead, the new vanity, and tile. The partly finished basement adds real living space, with a family room anchored by a dramatic stone fireplace, a second updated full bathroom, and a large laundry room and storage area. Out back, the private yard is level and partly fenced. There's room to garden, space to relax on the patio, room to run, or just enjoy your quiet retreat. Major systems, including the furnace, A/C, water heater, windows, and roof, have all been updated in the last 6 years. All of this is conveniently located near the Parkway East Churchill exit for an easy commute, or bus ride, to Downtown, the East End, or Monroeville. This is a home that has been taken care of and is truly move-in ready with no work needed.
