This property provides the unique opportunity to purchase a lovely home in an historic neighborhood with an apartment helping pay the mortgage with the possibility of restoring the home back to single family. The Owner purchased the home in 2011 which had been converted to two units living in one with rental income from the other upgrading the kitchens, tile baths, entry doors, central air, insulating the third floor room and adding the second floor balcony. All windows have been replaced with a high quality, low maintenance historically accurate design. The first floor tenants moved out recently. That apartment has all new carpet. The roof is six years old. Its corner location permitted two separate outside entrances plus a second exit from each apartment as well as interior and exterior access to the basement. The owner apartment on the second and third floors has a recessed outside balcony overlooking the tree-lined street which also provides a covered entry to the first floor apartment. The owner apartment has a third floor room that the present tenant uses as a bedroom in addition to the bedroom on the second floor. If converting back to single family one of the kitchens could become a den or office. The location is ideal with Allegheny General Hospital, a large city park and Interstate 279 all two blocks away. The historic Deutschtown neighborhood has a variety of nice restaurants and coffee and sandwich shops. In and around the park is picturesque Lake Elizabeth, the National Aviary, Children’s Museum and a popular Farmers Market on Friday afternoons in the milder weather months. The sports stadiums and downtown amenities are minutes away. The close proximity to the interstate also makes access to the large McKnight Road shopping district, suburban North Park and even the airport an easy drive.
