24 Newton Avenue

It’s not often you find a home that’s been in the same family for over 40 years, and it’s even rarer when it feels like a warm hug from the moment you step inside. This Craftsman beauty on the North Side is just a short distance from schools, downtown, delicious restaurants, and UPMC. You won't just live here; you'll immediately belong here. Prepare to swoon over the natural woodwork that defines the main level. Stunning built-in colonnades framing the entryway, window seats (perfect for a morning coffee, a good book) and hardwood floors throughout, adding to the undeniably cozy and character-filled vibe. Classic character wear where it should be, modern updates where they belong. The kitchen is where modern convenience shakes hands with classic style. Enjoy cooking under a cool pine plank ceiling, complemented by warm oak cabinets, a large central island perfect for food prep or chatting with guests, and the original pantry cabinetry. But the best part is the seamless flow. Just off the kitchen, you have all the options: a cozy den perfect for watching the big game, a formal dining area demanding holiday feasts, or step through the sliding glass doors and fire up the grill on the spacious red deck overlooking the semi-private backyard. Head upstairs for some serious R&R. Here, you’ll find three bedrooms that maintain the original wood trim. There are multiple walk-in closets for the fashion savvy. A recently updated, chic full bath features a sleek new vanity and a glass-enclosed shower/tub combo. A convenient half bath handles the main level's needs. They've taken the stress out of homeownership with newer windows and a newer roof, so you can focus on more important things, like where to put your new furniture. You also get the benefits of central air, a detached two-car garage (goodbye, winter scraping!), durable vinyl siding, and that irresistible covered front porch with the original brick columns for your morning coffee or an afternoon iced tea. This home has been loved for four decades—come give it its next chapter.
