ATTENTION INVESTORS, REHABBERS, AND VISIONARIES! Rare opportunity to acquire a classic, solid brick home with incredible value-add potential. This offering is for the LEFT SIDE ONLY of this substantial brick residence, providing a unique "half-duplex" or "attached single-family" style project for those looking to build equity through a full renovation. THE PROPERTY & LAYOUT This home features a traditional floor plan that is currently a blank canvas waiting for your creative touch. Main Level: Spacious living areas with high ceilings characteristic of its era. The layout allows for a flowing transition between the living room and what could be a stunning eat-in kitchen or a formal dining space. Second Floor: Currently configured with two dedicated bedrooms and a full bathroom. The Captive 3rd Bedroom: A unique feature of this home is the third bedroom, which is currently "captive" (accessed through another bedroom). This space offers multiple high-value possibilities: Luxury Primary Suite: Transform the two rooms into a massive primary retreat with a walk-in dressing room or private nursery. Home Office: Perfect for today’s remote work environment, offering a quiet, tucked-away workspace. Reconfiguration: For the seasoned contractor, there may be potential to reconfigure the hallway to provide private access, instantly boosting the official bedroom count and market value. CONDITION & POTENTIAL Make no mistake—this home needs work. It is being sold strictly AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with the seller making no repairs or warranties. This is a "down to the studs" type of opportunity, ideal for someone looking to customize every finish from the flooring to the fixtures. Exterior: The timeless brick exterior provides a durable, low-maintenance shell that many modern flips lack. Interior: Bring your flashlight and your contractor. The interior requires a comprehensive overhaul, including likely updates to systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and aesthetic finishes. THE OPPORTUNITY In a market where finished homes are reaching record highs, this "fixer-upper" is priced to move. Whether you are looking for your next "fix-and-flip," a long-term BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) rental property, or a primary residence you can mold to your exact specifications, this brick beauty is the one. LOCATION & LIFESTYLE Situated in a Pittsburgh neighborhood with steady appreciation, you are just minutes away from local amenities, transit, and shopping. The potential after-repair value (ARV) for brick homes in this area makes this a compelling math problem for any savvy investor. SUMMARY OF TERMS Sale Type: Left side of the home only. Condition: Total rehab required; sold As-Is. Financing: Likely requires Cash or Hard Money due to condition. Don't let this diamond in the rough slip away. Bring your tape measure, your vision, and your best offer. Schedule your walkthrough today and start planning your next masterpiece!
