Lovable city cottage offers 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a private brick courtyard in Pittsburgh's East Allegheny neighborhood. Positioned in the shadow of the Downtown skyline, enjoy exceptional convenience just moments from Routes 28, 376, and 279, 0.5 miles from Allegheny General Hospital, Allegheny Commons Park, and East Ohio Street's celebrated Restaurant Row, and only 1.5 miles from Downtown Pittsburgh.
Historic Tripoli Street sets the scene, where a backdrop of preserved architecture and the nearby Food City Community Garden create a locale rich in character. The façade retains its turn-of-the-century charm, highlighted by ornate window and door crossheads.
Inside, admire a bright, fully updated interior where luxury vinyl flooring and crisp neutral finishes create broad appeal. A convenient laundry closet rounds out the living room. A central dining room provides access to the powder room and staircase to the second floor. The sparkling kitchen with direct courtyard access pairs butcher block countertops, chic open shelving, and stainless appliances to create a stylish cookspace.
Discover two comfortable bedrooms with abundant natural light and generous closet storage on the second floor. A modernized full hall bath with a tile tub surround serves the level.
Save the best for last outdoors. The fully enclosed brick courtyard feels like a private English garden in the city, where winding brick pavers lead to an elevated patio. A rare combination of historic character, modern updates, walkability, and outdoor living in this vibrant Pittsburgh neighborhood.
