    Welcome Home to 254 Princeton Avenue in the sought-after Ivy League Streets of West View Borough! This beautifully maintained, move-in ready single-family home offers the ultimate blend of peace of mind, thoughtful updates, and incredible outdoor space. From the moment you arrive, the charming covered front porch invites you to sit back, relax, and take in the welcoming, tree-lined sidewalk community. Step inside to discover a warm, light-filled layout with fresh paint throughout and brand-new carpet stretching across the entire second floor. Classic stained-glass window accents infuse timeless character into the bright living and dining spaces, creating an ideal setting for hosting cozy dinners or effortless weekend gatherings. The absolute crown jewel of this property is the expansive, mostly flat double lot. Extending seamlessly around the side and behind the home, this vast green lawn offers endless possibilities—whether you choose to keep it open for yard games and outdoor relaxation, or add a full fence to create a private oasis. Out back, the private pea-gravel patio sets the scene for lingering evening conversations and outdoor dining. Every detail has been cared for so you can move in without a worry. The current owner has meticulously updated all major mechanics for true turn-key living: enjoy a new roof, new siding, a new water heater, new water lines, and a new furnace pre-plumbed for central AC. Exterior improvements also include updated lighting, fresh landscaping, a rebuilt retaining wall, and a detached one-car garage. Downstairs, the clean, dry basement provides wonderful flexibility beyond standard storage—framed out and ready for your touch to create a home office, recreation room, or second full bathroom. Enjoy evening walks through a quintessential sidewalk neighborhood, all while staying just 10 minutes from Downtown Pittsburgh via I-279, Ross Park Mall, and local parks. This home delivers space, style, and total peace of mind.
