    What's special

    This classic Dutch colonial style home is located close to so many of the amenities that have made Pittsburgh America's most livable city. It is just steps to Carnegie Mellon University; a few blocks to the University of Pittsburgh, to Phipps Conservatory, Schenley Park, and the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History; close to many bus lines; a mile to the Oakland, Shadyside, and Squirrel Hill shopping districts; and a short drive to the zoo, Frick Park, and downtown. This welcoming and well-maintained home has a remodeled kitchen and gets lots of natural light.
