1217 Peermont Ave

A well-preserved early 1900s brick home on one of Dormont's most established residential streets, carries real scale and soul. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, original hardwood floors, and fireplaces on multiple levels, all protected by a newer roof. Greeted by a little community library stand out front that sets the tone before you even step onto the porch. The deep covered front porch opens into a living room designed to impress. Enormous windows flood the space with natural light, amplifying a footprint that feels genuinely expansive. A fireplace with a reclaimed wood shiplap accent wall and original stained glass windows give the room its character. The dining room anchors the flow with its own built-in glass hutch and chandelier, and the light here is just as remarkable. The kitchen has been tastefully reimagined with white shaker cabinetry, butcher block counters, subway tile, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range. Out back, a covered patio steps into a tiered, fully fenced backyard with a fire pit area and genuine room to breathe. The original dark wood staircase leads to a second floor that delivers just as much as the main. The primary bedroom is a true standout, with an ornate original cast iron fireplace, crown molding, and a wall of front-facing windows. A second bedroom overlooks the backyard and green space beyond the fence line. The third bedroom is bright and comfortable with its own distinct personality. The bathroom has been fully renovated top to bottom, with board-and-batten wainscoting, a marble-top vanity, and clean modern finishes. A dedicated laundry room on the same floor as the bedrooms is one of those things you don't realize you need until you have it. The third floor opens into a sprawling finished space with its own generous windows — yes, more light — private enough and large enough to serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or studio. Surrounded by two of the South Hills' best walkable destinations. Potomac Ave, where well-loved local restaurants, boutique shops, and the T stop for an easy commute downtown all live on the same strollable street. Beverly Road, offering its own tight-knit strip of neighborhood dining and retail. Two genuinely great options, both on foot.
