1247 Larimer Ave

Welcome home to country living in the heart of Pittsburgh! Situated on a rare .367-acre lot, this colorful and cozy ranch with a fully finished lower level, offers space, privacy, and exceptional versatility — all within the city. Meticulously maintained, this 4-bedroom home (with one currently used as a den) features comfortable one-floor living and a finished lower level complete with a full kitchen and bath. Major updates within the last four years include a new Bosch boiler, new roof, new electrical panel, and new AC — offering peace of mind for years to come. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, showcasing a built-in style Liebherr refrigerator, a generous double sink, and easy access to a secluded porch tucked beside the garden patio — perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings outdoors. The fully fenced yard is surprisingly peaceful and private, with mature roses, fruit trees, and a large patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. There’s even a spacious chicken coop ready for fresh eggs and a little extra charm — a delightful touch for those dreaming of a bit of urban homesteading. Car enthusiasts, gardeners, craftspeople, and hobbyists will be thrilled by the exceptional garage and workshop options. In addition to the large attached heated garage filled with natural light, the property features a separate heated four-car garage — an incredible, flexible space ideal for vehicles, projects, storage, or rental income. This structure is connected to a bright glass sunroom that easily serves as a cheerful potting shed. There is also an additional charming multi-use outbuilding with electric service — creating a true compound of usable space. Adding to its appeal, this property is income-producing. The lower level generates approximately $15,000 per year through Airbnb rentals, and the 4-car garage rents for $600 per month — offering built-in supplemental income. A unique opportunity to own a quiet retreat with generous outdoor space, thoughtful updates, flexible living areas, and income potential — all in one special home.
