Property Description
Some homes simply have good bones, others have a story to tell. At 859 Lilac Street, you'll find both. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 50 years, this charming Greenfield home has stood proudly for more than a century, welcoming generations through its front door and creating memories that have lasted a lifetime. Now, it's ready for its next chapter. Step inside and be greeted by a gracious foyer, soaring ceilings, and a beautiful staircase that immediately reminds you of an era when homes were built with character and craftsmanship in mind. Natural light fills the spacious kitchen, living, and dining rooms, creating warm and inviting spaces for holidays, dinner gatherings, and quiet days at home. Just off the dining room, a sliding glass door opens to a generous deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard, the perfect setting for summer barbecues, pets at play, or morning coffee in the sunshine. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortably sized bedrooms and a full bath, while the walk-up attic presents an exciting opportunity to create the bonus space you've always dreamed of, whether it's a home office, studio, game room, or cozy retreat. Storage is abundant throughout the home, with space galore between the walk-up attic, unfinished basement, and rear addition, offering plenty of room for seasonal items, hobbies, a workshop, or future expansion possibilities. While there is room to add your personal touches, some of the big-ticket improvements have already been completed, including a new roof and brand-new electrical panel, providing peace of mind for years to come. Perched above the street, this classic Pittsburgh home offers a sense of privacy and presence that's increasingly hard to find. Rich in history, full of potential, and located in one of Pittsburgh's most beloved neighborhoods, 859 Lilac Street is more than just a house. It's an opportunity to restore, reimagine, and make something truly your own.
