Perfectly positioned along the East Liberty/Highland Park border, this distinctive Tudor Revival home puts some of Pittsburgh's most desirable East End destinations within minutes. Offering seven bedrooms, three levels of living space, incredible architectural character, substantial updates and an extraordinary amount of parking for a city property, this home delivers space, versatility and charm that is increasingly difficult to find. A renovated covered front porch welcomes you into a spacious entryway filled with period details. The main level begins with a generous living room followed by a formal dining room. Continue into the kitchen, which opens to an oversized eat-in dining area with room for a full-size table, creating an ideal everyday gathering space. Recessed lighting enhances the kitchen and dining areas, while custom finishes and several of the home's seven fireplaces add tremendous character. A distinctive double-sided fireplace connects the kitchen and eat-in dining area, newer windows are found throughout, and a convenient half bathroom completes the main level. Step from the kitchen onto a covered rear porch that leads to the expansive deck. Step down to a small fenced yard area with opportunity for landscaping, gardens or outdoor use. A separate gazebo provides another covered entertaining space and is complemented by a slate patio, giving the backyard multiple areas to relax and gather. The second floor offers four bedrooms, a full bathroom and an approximately 6x5 room currently used as a large closet. Continue to the third floor where three additional bedrooms and another full bathroom provide flexibility for bedrooms, guest rooms, home offices, fitness space or other uses. The basement adds functionality with a 17x10 partially finished room that could serve as a game room, recreation area, home gym or office, along with substantial unfinished storage space. One of the property's most exceptional features is its parking. Rare off-street parking is available at the front of the home, while the rear features a massive three-car detached garage with new garage doors and automatic openers. Whether you need vehicle storage, workshop space, room for hobbies or simply more parking than is typically available in the city, this setup is extremely difficult to replicate. The home has benefited from substantial improvements over the years. The roof and gutters on both the house and garage were replaced in 2020, the sewer line was lined in 2020, and new electrical lines were installed to the second and third floors in 2020. Additional updates include a hot water tank installed in 2021, Amana furnace and AC installed in 2025, 150-amp electrical service, a new second-floor electrical panel installed in 2026 and a new water supply line installed in 2026. Central air serves much of the home, with window A/C units included for supplemental cooling on the third floor. Extensive 2026 improvements also include repointing of the house and garage, gutter sealing and cleaning, replacement of one downspout, renovation of the front porch, exterior painting, three new garage doors with automatic openers, carpet cleaning and professional cleaning throughout. UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is just a short drive away, while Highland Park, East Liberty's business district, Bakery Square, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, Bloomfield and Friendship are all conveniently accessible. Enjoy nearby restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, shopping and entertainment, along with Highland Park and Mellon Park for green space, recreation and outdoor activities.
