Spread out in this distinguished 5-bedroom Victorian. A perfect home base 3 miles from downtown, North Shore, and Acrisure and PNC Park. Quiet neighborhood setting with outdoor space, ideal for families and groups wanting room to relax between outings.

~LAYOUT~
A three-story home with 5 bedrooms boasting a total of 8 beds and nearly 3,000 square feet, you and your group will have plenty of private spaces to wind down, or gather in the spacious common areas.

You`ll have a choice of unique mattresses with different firmness levels to ensure a comfortable and quiet night`s sleep.

* Master bedroom: The lucky guests who claim this entire 3rd floor for their stay will get to enjoy a King bed, a day bed with a trundle, a crib, a workspace, and their own private living area with a 65` smart TV
* Our second floor includes 3 comfortable bedrooms, each with queen beds and Smart TVs. There`s also a 4th (children`s) bedroom with a twin over full bunk bed that sleeps up to 3. Be sure to take note of charming details like the hand-painted fireplace tiles and views of the friendly neighborhood. The second floor also has a centrally located updated full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
* Living room: Relax in the comfort of an old-world parlor, only this one has a wall-mounted 55` smart TV.
* Dining room: Since the bedrooms can hold so many people in comfort, so should the dining room. Surrounded by original cabinets and fireplace, this room can easily serve a party of 10
* Kitchen: What good would such a large dining room be without the kitchen to go with it? The stainless appliances in the chef`s kitchen (microwave, fridge, oven, Keurig, French press, toaster, toaster oven, blender and dishwasher) are sure to give you everything you`ll need for a meal worthy of a wonderful stay. The gas oven alone features a commercial hood, broiler, griddle and heat lamps to keep everything nice and toasty.
* 3 season porch: Expand the living room through the double doors into the bright and sunny 3 season porch. A great place to enjoy your morning coffee.
* Playroom: right off the kitchen, we`ve recently added a children`s living room and play kitchen, complete with books and games, overlooking the backyard through bright bay windows
* Outside: The flat, elevated corner lot is a great private place to grill or play with the family in the backyard.

I`m committed to doing whatever I can to make your stay the best it can be. I absolutely love this city and would be delighted to share with you some of my favorite restaurants, museums, parks or attractions. I respect your privacy and will communicate as little or as much as you wish.

The home is less than a mile from shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores, but is a quiet and friendly area to walk the neighborhood sidewalks.

Please do what you can to keep the number of vehicles parked at the home to fewer than 4. If additional parking is needed, please contact me so we can arrange a solution.

Located in between downtown and the airport, you have an easy commute either way. The best South Hills shopping districts are a short drive or bus ride with a bus stop less than one block from the house.

This Victorian is set in a friendly residential neighborhood, away from noisy businesses and roads, but convenient to the best shopping areas in the South Hills, night-life on Carson Street, River`s Casino, and sports Stadiums on the North Shore along with all the excitement and architecture of downtown. For business travelers, you`ll find one of the easiest commutes to downtown through the `West End` while being a short drive further west to the airport.

Whether you`re in town for business in the region`s high tech world, or on a family trip, you`ll enjoy this beautiful, classic Pittsburgh home. Enjoy a quiet neighborhood feel while being less than 20 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from The Point, downtown, Acrisure Stadium, PNC Park and River`s Casino!

The driveway has recently been expanded. Please use the driveway whenever possible and leave one space available nearest the garage for our tenant next door.

I`m available to help make your stay the best it can be, but the level of communication is entirely up to you. It is always my pleasure to make suggestions on where to go and what to do - from museums to my favorite walkable streets.

You will also receive a guidebook three days before check-in with recommendations and instructions for the appliances in the home.
