224 S Home Ave

Perched proudly on a hilltop overlooking Avalon, this stately 3-story brick Colonial blends timeless character with convenience to Downtown Pittsburgh. Just steps from the neighborhood’s vibrant business district—filled with cafés, shops, yoga studios, restaurants and more—this home offers classic architecture and room to grow. Inside, you’ll find large, light-filled rooms, high ceilings, and original hardwood floors that may be refinished to restore their historic beauty. Operational pocket doors, detailed woodwork, and four decorative fireplaces highlight the home’s charm. A spacious dining room and an inviting kitchen provide excellent flow for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms include a large and bright primary. The walk-up attic offers two additional rooms ready to be finished into bedrooms, plus space for a second full bathroom, creating a significant value-add opportunity. The partially finished basement expands the home’s versatility with potential for a game room, office, home gym, or cozy hangout. Outside, the park-like backyard offers level green space, perfect for relaxation, gardening and play. A 1-car detached garage and a turnaround area at the top of the driveway add convenience. The back entry covered patio allows al fresco dining or a shady area to catch a breeze while reading a book. With its commanding presence, desirable location, and endless potential, this Avalon gem is ready for its next chapter. Schedule your private tour today!
