1418 Pennsylvania Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15233

Historic, charming, whimsical, lovely - just a few of the words that come to mind at 1418 Pennsylvania Ave in Pittsburgh's Manchester neighborhood. The North Side location is just minutes from Downtown, the North Shore's Acrisure Stadium, PNC Park, Stage AE, and all the North Shore's restaurants and nightlife. The Allegheny River is a short jaunt away, and the newest city development, the Esplanade, is currently under development and walking distance from the front door. Easy highway access and public transportation provide all the amenities of a city neighborhood, with a suburban feel. The home's character reveals itself in layers. Mature trees and landscaped walkways. A massive backyard skirted by trees and where you'll find a large garden area. The welcoming wrap-around front porch. Original fireplace mantles, woodwork, coffered ceilings, window seats, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, gracious room sizes, magnificent natural light, stained glass windows, hardwood floors, and much more - the sum truly greater than its parts. The Colonial Revival home sits atop the lot with quiet dignity. A gated entry gives way to the sinuous walkway, flanked by planter beds leading to the front steps. The incredible front porch is where you'll find yourself whiling away hours reading, drinking your morning coffee, entertaining friends, and attending to your many potted plants. The entrance gives you your first glimpse at the home's stunning original woodwork. The entry's stairwell is paneled in rich woodwork, lit in warm hues from the natural light that floods in through the stained glass window on the landing above. The living room has a massive window, is anchored by an original decorative fireplace, features border hardwood floors, and a unique round tray ceiling. The dining room is the showstopper. Coffered ceilings, a bay window with a window seat, an original fireplace mantle, hardwood floors, and plate-railing are all in place. Nearly floor-to-ceiling windows open to offer views of the backyard. The kitchen sits at the rear of the home with excellent cabinetry space and counter top workspaces, and leads to the rear porch and backyard making it ideal for al fresco dining. A family room on the first floor adds an informal retreat for reading, streaming your favorite series, or stealing a midday siesta. A powder room completes the first floor. On the second floor, the capacious primary bedroom spans the entire width of the home, with plenty of space for a sitting and lounging area in addition to the bedroom area. Another original mantelpiece and a large closet are present in the primary. Two more large bedrooms with hardwood floors and a hall bathroom with another stained glass window round out the second floor.
