About This Home

Experience the perfect blend of timeless brick architecture and thoughtful contemporary expansion in this light-filled four-bedroom retreat — where classic charm meets everyday comfort. Begin your mornings on the welcoming front porch swing, soaking in the fresh spring air before stepping into a gracious entry that sets the tone for the home. The formal living room, complete with a decorative fireplace and abundant built-in shelving, offers a refined yet cozy space to gather. Just beyond, the formal dining room overlooks an open field — an idyllic backdrop for intimate dinners or lively celebrations. The spacious kitchen is ready for culinary creativity — whether preparing a gourmet meal or plating favorites from the East End’s exceptional restaurants. A bright dining area with sliding glass doors seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living, opening to a deck perfect for coffee and cinnamon rolls at sunrise or dessert under the evening sky. The dining area flows effortlessly into a sun-drenched family room, creating an inviting space for daily living and entertaining alike. Elegant stairs lead to the second floor, where four bedrooms await. To the right, a bedroom with a charming loft offers a whimsical escape — ideal for reading, dreaming, or creative pursuits. Two additional bedrooms overlook the peaceful field, while the primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring a sprawling bathroom with skylight and the potential for a custom laundry conversion. The expansive basement provides abundant storage, a dedicated laundry and utility area, half bath and flexible space for a game room — complete with its own decorative fireplace. A garage with dual points of entry, generous off-street parking, and ample outdoor space enhance the home’s practicality. The front yard offers room for lush plantings, while the driveway provides opportunity for container gardening. Just a short stroll from the scenic trails of Frick Park and minutes from the schools and vibrant dining scene of Squirrel Hill, this exceptional property delivers the rare combination of urban convenience and suburban serenity.
