Property Description
Space, convenience, and a move-in ready layout come together on Cowan Street. With four true bedrooms and thoughtful updates throughout, this Mt. Washington home offers the kind of flexibility that's hard to find-more room for guests, a dedicated office, or a comfortable roommate setup without sacrificing common living space. The main level features a bright living area with neutral flooring and clean finishes that make decorating easy. The kitchen has been refreshed with modern cabinetry, updated countertops, and room to cook and gather. Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms and a full bath create a layout that simply works-whether you're hosting, working from home, or wanting separation between living and sleeping spaces. Outside, the backyard provides usable green space for pets, gardening, or quiet unwinding, while the front porch adds another casual spot to enjoy the neighborhood. The home sits vacant and ready for its next chapter-no delays, no waiting. Mt. Washington remains one of Pittsburgh's most desirable pockets for its quick access to downtown, Grandview viewpoints, neighborhood parks, and established dining scene. 42 Cowan Street captures that balance: a residential feel with city adjacency and walkable amenities. Whether you're a first-time buyer, someone seeking extra bedroom count close to the city, or looking for a low-maintenance home with modern updates already done, this address makes the move easy.
