227 E 8th Ave

Bring your vision to 227 E 8th Ave, a classic brick mixed-use building on Homestead’s main business corridor. The county classifies it as retail with apartments above. A great fit for an investor, developer, or owner who wants to live and work in one location. The building has been taken down to the studs, so it’s a true blank canvas. Per the previous listing, several big-ticket items have already been addressed: • A new sewer system from the basement to the street. • An updated roof with system joists, plywood, and EPDM rubber membrane. Character details remain throughout: a traditional storefront with transom windows, exposed brick walls, original hexagonal mosaic tile in the entry, a vintage wood stair railing, and tall windows that fill the upper floor with natural light. A full basement with walk-out access and a rear lot add flexibility. You’re steps from local restaurants and shops, minutes from The Waterfront’s retail and dining, and close to the Homestead Grays Bridge for quick access to Squirrel Hill, Oakland, and downtown Pittsburgh. This property needs a full renovation and is being sold as-is. It’s a rare chance to restore a piece of Homestead history and create lasting value.
