3203 Shady Ave Ext

This home is a true gem, offering beautiful Mon River views from the rear deck on a quiet, less-traveled street in Squirrel Hill. The neighborhood has a close-knit, welcoming feel, with children often playing outside and neighbors gathering for block parties. Inside, the home features an updated kitchen, newer windows and doors, and an open-concept living and dining area. Patio doors from the living room open to a peaceful sitting area on the front porch. Major improvements include a full sewer line replacement completed in 2026, covering the basement lines and the main to the street, as well as rough-in plumbing for a first-floor powder room. There is ample street parking, with enough space on the right side of the house to add a driveway and even a small garage, as several neighboring homes have done. The front yard is NWF (National Wildlife Federation) certified wildlife habitat, which includes shelter and water for birds, flowers to attract and feed pollinators and water barrels to collect and conserve water. The finished basement includes knotty-pine walls, carpet, a bar, a bathroom, an artsy laundry room, and generous storage. The third floor provides a great play area for children. Conveniently located near Waterfront shopping and easy access to 376, Oakland, and downtown.
