524 Decatur Ave

Offered for the first time since its construction, this lovingly cared for, well-maintained, brick raised ranch home with a 2nd floor addition offers a country-living feel thanks to the adjacent tree-filled vacant lots; one of which conveys with the sale of the property. Upon entering the house, there is a roomie living room that flows into the dining area and well-appointed kitchen with ample counter and cabinet space, built in electric oven, gas cook top, new garbage disposal (2026), and new refrigerator (2026). The hardwood floors on the main floor have been preserved thanks to having always been covered by wall-to-wall carpeting. The space may be able to be transformed into an open living area with the removal of some non-structural walls. The main floor also includes 3 bedrooms with 2 full baths, one of which is an en-suite to the largest bedroom. The 2nd floor addition has the 4th ample sized bedroom/owner suite with another full bath, large closet, and dressing area; the perfect private haven for the owner or that special family member. All the windows are newer double paned aluminum for better energy efficiency. The full basement is partially finished with a family room that has a freestanding gas fireplace. It also includes abundant storage space, laundry room, access to the private backyard, and an entrance from the integral one car garage. The yearly serviced HVAC system was recently updated with a Healthy Climate Solutions that includes Lenox dehumidifier and UV light germicidal system (2024). The roof was replaced in 2018 and in 2025 the gutters and down spouts were replaced with a new Leaf Filter gutter system. The private backyard has a shed and has plenty of space to enjoy the songs of many local bird species. This is a must-see home located in Forest Hills with all the amenities of city living including easy access to 376 and downtown Pittsburgh, shopping, restaurants, parks, and minutes from East End attractions. This home meets all the needs of a commuter or work from home buyer.
