5470 Hillcrest St

Cross the threshold and the floor plan does the talking: an open sweep of engineered hardwood and light that carries you from the living room through the dining area to a kitchen worth the trip. The living area is generous enough to anchor a full sectional and still have room to breathe. The sightline from the front door to the back of the home runs long and clean, the kind that makes a room feel twice its size. The kitchen opens to the dining area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. Deep, dark, swirling granite runs from counter to backsplash and anchors the efficient work triangle with the range, sink, and french door refrigerator exactly where you want them. Finishes include solid wood white shaker cabinetry, matte black hardware, stainless steel appliances and an under mount double sink that looks out over the backyard. Upstairs, three bedrooms, ample closet space, six-panel doors, and engineered hardwood underfoot signal that the design didn't stop at the staircase. The primary has 3 closets and real room to settle in. A marble-topped dual-sink vanity and subway-tiled tub and shower complete the renovated full bath. Just off the kitchen, you'll walk down to the ground level to find a second full bath with subway tile and a ceiling-mounted rain head in the walk-in shower. The partially finished lower level has previously functioned as a home gym, but could be finished out to become a family room, game room or guest suite. Out back, a large covered deck and a new privacy fence create a backyard oasis. Out front, a covered porch built for morning coffee. Architectural shingle roof (2022). EPDM rubber flat roof and seamless gutters (2024). Furnace, central air, and water heater (2022). Radon mitigation system installed in 2023. Smart thermostat. Ring security. Whirlpool washer and dryer included. Unpack and you're done. Easy access to the Penn Ave corridor and East Liberty. Minutes to West Penn Hospital, Shadyside Hospital, and Children's Hospital.
