About This Home

Opportunity knocks at 421 Avenue D, a solid brick townhome in Forest Hills that makes equal sense as a primary residence or an income-producing investment. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for an affordable path to homeownership or an investor seeking a rental in a welcoming Pittsburgh suburb, this property delivers. Step inside from the covered front porch to a bright, welcoming living room featuring a decorative brick fireplace, ceiling fan, and newer double-pane windows that flood the space with natural light. A separate dining room flows into the kitchen, which opens directly to the back patio, flat, private, and bordered by mature hedges. Beyond the patio, the yard gently slopes up toward the alley, offering outdoor space with potential to add off-street parking, a feature tenants and owners alike appreciate. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms, a bright full bath, and a convenient hallway closet complete a functional and comfortable layout. Original wooden doors with vintage hardware add character that today's buyers and renters love. The spacious unfinished basement provides abundant storage space. Lovingly maintained by the same family for many years, this home is ready for its next chapter. Forest Hills is a tight-knit borough tucked between Edgewood and Penn Hills, with easy access to public transportation, Ardmore Boulevard, Edgewood Towne Centre, and the Parkway East.
