About This Home

Top-floor living in a well-established Squirrel Hill community, this residence offers a bright, easy layout that feels open without feeling oversized. The entry leads directly into a combined living and dining area where the space flows naturally, making everyday living comfortable and flexible. A standout feature is the large walk-in storage closet off the dining area — a rare and incredibly useful space for seasonal items, pantry overflow, or general storage that’s often hard to find in condo living. The galley kitchen includes an eat-in area and pantry, providing practical workspace and room for a small table or coffee nook. The primary bedroom is generously sized with double closets, and the full bath includes a walk-in shower with built-in seating for accessibility and convenience. Located just across from the elevator with laundry nearby, the unit’s position within the building makes daily living especially convenient. Residents enjoy a professionally managed building with welcoming common areas, fitness room, community spaces, and a beautifully maintained outdoor patio area with established plantings — a true extension of the living space during warmer months. Parking spaces are available in the gated lot behind the building for an additional monthly fee, and a private storage locker is included with the unit. The monthly HOA fee covers water, sewer, trash, building amenities, and on-site management, supporting a simple, low-maintenance lifestyle. Ideally located just steps from the Squirrel Hill business district, with easy access to shops, dining, the JCC, and public transportation.
