A detached brick home offering off-street parking for up to three vehicles, a spacious yard, rear deck, finished lower level, and extensive seller improvements throughout is a rare find in Squirrel Hill, especially just moments from the restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood energy of Murray Avenue. Combining outdoor space, parking, thoughtful updates, and flexible living across four levels, this home delivers a hard-to-find blend of convenience and comfort in one of Pittsburgh's most established neighborhoods. Inside, bright interiors and white oak engineered flooring create a clean, polished feel throughout the three main living levels. The main floor unfolds through an open layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining, creating easy flow between the living room, dining area, and beautifully remodeled kitchen. White cabinetry, generous prep space, and a large quartz island create a natural centerpiece, while access to the rear deck and yard extends the living space outdoors. The upper levels offer an impressive amount of flexibility with spacious bedrooms and multiple full bathrooms, creating options for guests, work-from-home setups, creative space, or changing lifestyle needs over time. The finished lower level adds even more versatility with a game room, additional flex space, and a full bathroom. The seller made extensive investments throughout the home, combining visible updates with significant behind-the-scenes improvements. Major mechanical upgrades include a new roof (2024), new furnace (2024), new air conditioning system (2024), and new water heater (2024) and energy-efficient LED lighting installed throughout. Additional improvements include new windows, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, fresh interior and exterior paint, a newly poured reinforced 6-inch aggregate concrete driveway, French drain system installed around the perimeter of the home, and retaining walls constructed with interlocking block. Comfort and efficiency were also prioritized with insulation throughout the home along with added sound and thermal insulation between the first and second floors and between the second and third floors, creating enhanced privacy and comfort throughout the living spaces. Bright, clean, and thoughtfully improved, this home offers the kind of package that rarely comes together in Squirrel Hill: outdoor space to enjoy, parking that actually works, a finished lower level, extensive updates already completed, and a location placing parks, universities, hospitals, Downtown Pittsburgh, and neighborhood favorites just minutes away.
