Description

A fantastic location is not all you’ll love about this home. Yes, it’s a ‘stone’s throw’ to the Jefferson Elem & Middle School campus. What’s more convenient than a bus stop and a hospital nearby? But pass by the neat retaining wall and manicured yard and step into this well-cared for home with room to make it your own. Enjoy the LR with newer W-to-W over HW. In the FR, enjoy the warmth of a woodstove w/gas starter on a cold winter’s night.

What’s more convenient than a bus stop and a hospital nearby? But pass by the neat retaining wall and manicured yard and step into this well-cared for home with room to make it your own. Enjoy the LR with newer W-to-W over HW. In the FR, enjoy the warmth of a woodstove w/gas starter on a cold winter’s night. On warmer days, sip a cold drink on a deck w/stairs to the gently sloping back yard. Back inside, the DR has HW floors. The eat-in Kitchen has room for a table next to a newer bay window that’s perfect for potted herbs. Upstairs are 3 BRs and a full BA wrapped in soft gray tile. Lower level has a laundry, enclosed ‘Pgh potty’, finished GR w/outside access and 1 car garage. Car #2 can avoid the elements under the FR addition which could become a patio instead. There is room in the driveway to turn around & the yard has a storage shed. Don’t miss it!
