Property Description
956 W. North Ave has everything you've been holding out for and more! This grand 1880s estate boasts 3,500 square feet of living space spanning three full stories, with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths plus a game room and private office. If historic character, an epic roof deck with city views, a 2-car garage (that actually fits two SUVs!) and no yard to maintain are on your must-have list, this is the one! One of nine homes on historic "Denny Row" with matching covered front porches, it overlooks the stunning Emmanuel Episcopal Church - a historic landmark and one of H.H. Richardson's last designs. When you step inside through the grand double doors, the original tile entry, pine floors and a carved newel-post staircase welcome you. Inside, original character - eight fireplaces and intricate wood details around every corner - blends with a modern, spacious feel: 11-foot exposed ceilings and brick walls throughout. The chef's kitchen features Viking appliances, including a range set into the original brick hearth, plus an oversized island with seating, a wine fridge, a pot filler and a wood-fired pizza oven. At the rear of the home, the formal dining room opens to the garage roof deck, perfect for grilling and al fresco dining. A dedicated office and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features original leaded glass windows, two walk-in closets and a private bath with dual vanities, an oversized shower and a private water closet. The third floor is an entertainer's dream, with an expansive game room, two fireplaces and a bar inspired by New Orleans' Bourbon Street. Spiral stairs lead up through a hydraulic hatch to the rooftop deck and sweeping city views. A private guest suite with a full bath and laundry rounds out the top floor. Don't miss the basement with high ceilings, spanning the footprint of the home. Dreaming of a home gym? A wine cellar? There's plenty of room for that and more! Charming Allegheny West (Pittsburgh's smallest neighborhood!) is an active community, hosting multiple annual neighborhood house tours and community events. It is ideally located next to Downtown Pittsburgh, with easy access to all major highways, bike trails and public transit. Stroll to the Western Avenue business district - home to excellent restaurants, a juicery, coffee shop, brewery, wine bar, pilates studio, bookstore, hair salon and more. Allegheny Commons Park, the North Side's "Central Park," is a block away, home to the National Aviary and the Children's Museum, plus a dog park and tennis and pickleball courts. The stadiums and North Shore attractions are also right at your fingertips. Welcome to the best of city living!
