    Nestled in a chic, sought-after neighborhood, this stately brick residence is ready to welcome it's next owner. Rich in character, the home showcases original architectural details including pocket doors on the first floor, gorgeous woodwork throughout and a stunning leaded glass window that adds timeless elegance. Newer windows with integrated blinds blend classic charm with modern comfort. House was also brick pointed during ownership. The sun-filled third floor offers an expansive, flexible space- perfect for a studio, office or master retreat- bathed in natural light all day. Unique, beautiful stained glass in the first floor powder room and a panel on the front doors. With three well proportioned bedrooms, a small cedar lined closet in one of the bedrooms, an expansive front welcoming porch and a private courtyard-style backyard ideal for quiet mornings or intimate gatherings, this home offers a rare combination of scale, character and outdoor serenity in the heart of the city. All this home needs is your own personal touch. All kitchen cabinets, sink and appliances are removed as well as the sink and toilet on the 2nd floor. Besides the renovated powder room on the 1st floor there is a Pittsburgh potty and shower stall in the basement. A true diamond in the rough and ready to shine. Extraordinary location. Walk to all shops and restaurants in Lawrenceville and Bloomfield. The best of city living! Walk to hospitals, several bus lines and ample on-street parking.
