Looking for an investment property or a smart way to live in Squirrel Hill while generating rental income? Welcome to 6336 Phillips Avenue, a completely renovated, move-in-ready duplex offering a unique and incredibly flexible setup. Just a short walk to Frick Park and neighborhood schools, close to the shops, restaurants and coffee spots along Murray and Forbes, and minutes to Oakland, Shadyside, universities and major hospitals, the location is hard to beat. Zoned as a duplex with an occupancy certificate, the property features two electric meters and has been owner-occupied and lovingly maintained by the same family for two generations. Unit 1 occupies the main level and features 9' ceilings, LVP flooring, recessed lighting and a spacious living room with built-ins. The owner’s bedroom offers a double closet and pocket door, while the full bath features a ceramic tile shower. The large eat-in kitchen has been updated with quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, decorative tile backsplash and newer appliances. But here’s where this property gets interesting—the finished lower level adds incredible flexibility with its own private entrance, bedroom with en-suite full bath, living/TV room and kitchenette with refrigerator, dishwasher, cabinetry, counters and a 220V outlet for a future stove. Incorporate the lower level into Unit 1 for additional living or guest space, or explore its potential for additional income-producing use. Lockable doors between the spaces provide privacy, while the lower-level laundry room is accessible from both areas. Unit 2 has its own main-level entrance and spans the second and third floors. The second floor offers a living room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, full bath and convenient in-unit stackable washer and dryer. The kitchen was completely remodeled from the studs with new wiring, insulation, drywall, lighting and flooring, while the full bathroom also underwent a complete renovation including new PEX/plumbing, wiring, tub/shower and finishes. The third floor was completely remodeled and offers another bedroom plus a spacious loft/flex room that could serve as a potential fourth bedroom. And the improvements go well beyond cosmetics. Extensive updates include the roof and rubber-lined metal box gutters, repointed brick exterior and chimney, exterior siding and insulation, sewer line from the trap to the main tap-in, updated electrical and breaker boxes, furnaces, central air serving Unit 1 and the lower level, hot water heater, flooring, windows and extensive interior renovations. Outside, the fenced backyard offers a private retreat with a concrete rear patio, walkway and plenty of room to relax, entertain or play. The property also offers access to a shared driveway, along with ample on-street parking. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom and offering multiple ways to live, rent and utilize the space, 6336 Phillips Avenue is a truly unique opportunity in Squirrel Hill.
