    Striking brick exteriorBeautifully renovatedWelcoming covered front porchPlenty of storageMeticulously maintainedRare second-floor laundry areaAbundant workspace
    If you’ve been searching for a home that combines timeless character, thoughtful updates, and one of Pittsburgh’s most walkable city neighborhoods, this Brookline beauty deserves a spot at the top of your list. Standing proudly with its striking brick exterior, dramatic front-facing peak, and welcoming covered front porch, this three-story home makes an impression long before you step inside. Beautifully renovated and meticulously maintained by its current owners, the home seamlessly blends classic charm with modern conveniences. The spacious main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring updating flooring, recessed lighting, a welcoming living room, and a dining room perfectly positioned to enjoy views of the backyard. The updated kitchen offers everything today’s buyers are looking for, including white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant workspace, and plenty of storage. The second floor continues to impress with two generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite complete with its own private ensuite bath. Both full bathrooms have been tastefully updated with custom tile work and built-in niches, creating a polished and elevated feel throughout. A rare second-floor laundry area adds everyday convenience, while an additional bonus room provides the perfect space for a home office, reading nook, nursery, or creative retreat. The third floor offers tremendous flexibility and is one of the home’s standout features. With soaring vaulted ceilings and an abundance of space, it can easily function as a third bedroom, media room, guest suite, home gym, or an incredible hangout space—the choice is yours. Outside, you’ll discover something rarely found in the city: ample off-street parking with room for two vehicles comfortably and potentially three if you count the spot out front. Whether hosting guests or simply enjoying the convenience of city living without the parking headaches, this feature alone is a game changer. Situated just moments from Brookline Blvd, you’ll enjoy easy access to neighborhood favorites including local bakeries, coffee shops, popular restaurants, and beloved gathering spots like Red’s Good News. Grab your morning coffee, meet friends for dinner, or enjoy an evening stroll through one of Pittsburgh’s most vibrant and welcoming communities, all just steps from your front door.
