Nestled between majestic mature oak trees is this incredibly charming Cape Cod style cottage that will delight you with its open, expansive rooms!
Steps from the street lead to the front door & deck
Front & side of the home, plus the deck, in summertime. Note the low maintenance stone front and cement board siding on the remaining 3 sides of the house.
Front door + a private deck out front, nestled among the trees yet still sunny and welcoming
You'll enjoy sunset views over the Allegheny River from your private front deck!
A highlight of this home is the exceptionally large deck that extends your living space outdoors. Imagine hosting barbecues, sipping morning coffee, or simply unwinding amidst nature's beauty on this wonderful deck. It's the perfect spot for creating cherished memories with loved ones.
Your party deck during warm weather!
Note the steps leading to the front door. The trees and shrubs provide privacy from the street. You can also access the home via the attached garage.
A spacious, bright foyer welcomes family and guests, with oversized windows that bring the outside in. Note the ceramic tile floor - well suited to sloppy weather, wet/muddy shoes, pet bowls, piles of backpacks + jackets, plants, etc .... plus a large coat closet to keep everything neat
Another angle of the spacious foyer. Past tenants have used this area for dog crates, plant atrium, and even as a home office.
Oversized windows along the front of the home flood the living room with natural light and provide a nice view
Note the easy-care commercial grade luxury vinyl tile flooring, which brings warmth and style to the room but stands up to the traffic of a busy, active family. It continues down the hallway (right side of photo) and into the 2 bedrooms on the main level.
Another angle of the living room, showing its connection to the dining area. The flowing floor plan is ideal both for entertaining as well as for daily living.
Gleaming hardwood floors highlight the dining room area. A pass through/breakfast bar area provides a convenient connection to the kitchen, and extra seating.
Built-in display shelves, cabinetry and drawers make clever and practical use of space under the stairs leading to the upstairs bedroom & bath.
Crisp white cabinets highlight the kitchen. Granite counters and a tiled backsplash are pretty as well as practical in this hard-working space. Note the door leading to the covered side porch and deck area.
Kitchen - Plenty of additional storage on this side of the kitchen! There's even room for a cafe table and two chairs if you prefer an eat-in kitchen.
Stainless steel gas range with warming drawer. The wall-mounted microwave frees up counter space. Note the pass through/breakfast bar area to the left of the range, which connects the kitchen to the dining area.
This cozy bedroom truly is a peaceful oasis, tucked away in the back of the house. A door (not shown) gives direct access to the main floor bath.
Direct access to the main bath. Note the huge linen closet in the hallway.
This luxurious bath will bring a smile to your face as you get ready to face your day, or prepare to wind down for a peaceful night's rest. Imagine soaking your tired muscles in that extra deep tub!
The walk-in closet you've always wanted
The second bedroom on the main level provides abundant storage with its oversized closet and built in drawers.
Here's the cozy yet spacious third bedroom, which takes up almost the entire top floor. The small white door on the right opens to reveal a convenient storage area, while the door at the very back leads to a large bonus storage room. There's also a closet with hanging space across from the bathroom door
Third bedroom, looking towards the front of the home.
A second full bath is located on the upper level of the home. Not shown in this photo is the commode, tucked inside an alcove for privacy.
Large, clean basement with high ceilings and lots of storage.
So much space down here! Turn this space into a home gym, hobby space, homebrew area, or just a huge clean dry storage area
The "secret passageway" connects the basement laundry room to the garage, ensuring you don't need to be exposed to the rain, cold or snow when you return home.
The basement passageway leads to this garage
Finally, a garage that is tall enough and wide enough to accomodate a full size SUV! The steel fire-rated door on the right leads to the basement via the "secret passageway"
Another view of the spectacular deck during warm weather!
This aerial photo gives a sense of the size of this home -- it's so much larger than it appears from the street!
There's a small covered porch off the kitchen. The stone steps in the yard lead to the upper level of the yard, which has a fire pit area and a Belgian block for private, low-maintenance outdoor space.
Side porch in summertime
Note the gas line on the covered side porch -perfect for connecting your grill
There's a fire pit and patio area located behind the home, high enough to see over the roof top down to the Allegheny River.
This photo of the fire pit area was taken in summer, prior to the tree work that removed some branches that obstructed the view
This photo, taken from the fire pit/patio area behind the home, shows off the newer (2019) roof, recently treated to remove moss (fall 2025), and the extensive tree work that has been done (Dec 2024) to remove all overhanging limbs
