Classic Pittsburgh character meets a fresh, fully renovated interior in this charming Craftsman-style bungalow in Swisshelm Park. From the moment you arrive, the home makes an impression with its inviting covered front porch, brick exterior, mature landscaping, and timeless neighborhood appeal. Step inside to a bright, beautifully updated home where original character and modern finishes come together effortlessly. The main level offers an easy, natural flow from the welcoming living room into the dining room, where exposed brick adds warmth, texture, and a touch of the home’s original personality. Enjoy a wet bar area appealing for entertaining. A conveniently located powder room adds functionality to the first floor, while the spacious kitchen provides plenty of room to cook, gather, and entertain, complete with generous storage and a dedicated pantry. A beautiful high end appliance package, custom cream cabinetry, and leathered granite complement the space. From the kitchen, step directly onto the rear porch and into a backyard that is truly one of the home’s standout features. Situated on a rare double lot, the fully fenced yard offers an incredible amount of usable outdoor space, perfect for summer gatherings, gardening, a fire pit, outdoor dining, or simply giving your four-legged best friend the play oasis they’ve been dreaming of. A detached two-car garage, with an EV charger already installed, provides coveted off-street parking and additional storage. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms share an updated full bathroom, creating a functional and private sleeping level. The living space continues downstairs in the finished lower level, offering flexibility for a family room, home office, workout space, guest area, or movie room. And unlike the stereotypical Pittsburgh basement, this one feels polished and purposeful, complete with another beautifully tiled full bathroom. Beyond the home itself, Swisshelm Park offers the kind of neighborhood setting that can be hard to find while remaining remarkably convenient to the rest of the city. Enjoy tree-lined streets, nearby parks and neighborhood walks, while being just minutes from I-376 for an easy commute into Downtown Pittsburgh, yet located with nearby options to avoid the Squirrel Hill Tunnel. Shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are close by at Edgewood Towne Center, with The Waterfront and surrounding East End neighborhoods also within easy reach. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, with three bedrooms, two full and one half bathrooms, a finished lower level, two-car garage, and an exceptional double-lot backyard, this home delivers the character of a classic Pittsburgh bungalow with the updates and functionality of modern living. The cosmetic updates are easy to see, but the heavy-lifting items have also been updated including: electrical rewiring, plumbing, waterproofing, and more, making this a truly move-in ready in.
