Property Description
Located in the heart of Brookline, this classic brick home offers the character, craftsmanship, and enduring quality that have made Pittsburgh homes so beloved for generations. Steps from Brookline Boulevard, you'll enjoy easy access to neighborhood restaurants, local shops, community events, and everything that gives this area its strong sense of community. Plus, you're around the corner from Brookline Memorial Park which has something for everyone. Enjoy your privacy fenced front porch and deck tucked behind mature landscaping which creates a comfortable retreat to start your day, unwind in the evening, or enjoy the changing seasons from the comfort of home. Inside, the generously sized living room provides an inviting gathering space with original hardwood floors beneath the existing carpet. The main level features two bedrooms with the original hardwood floors exposed and a full bath, providing convenient one-floor living. Toward the rear of the home, a bright three-season room offers additional flexible space that could serve as a dining area, reading nook, home office, or indoor garden space. The lower level expands the home's possibilities with a finished basement that includes a second kitchen area—a feature often treasured in Pittsburgh homes for entertaining, holiday cooking, and accommodating guests. Whether you envision a recreation room, hobby space, guest quarters, or additional living area, the foundation is already in place. The laundry room has a classic Pittsburgh shower and is equipped with shelving and a washer. Parking is another valuable bonus, with a 22X11 integral garage. Combining a prime location, classic charm, and opportunities to make it your own, this well-maintained Brookline home is ready for its next chapter.
