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.

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.
