This late Victorian (1905), historical, three-story, two full bath house has a full nursery set up with crib, changing table and futon. It has four other bedrooms (3 double beds, 1 queen), couch in the living room, and laundry in the basement. There are two decorative fireplaces, a full eat-in kitchen with all the dishes, pots & pans, etc. and a dining room. There is a great deal of natural light and a large front porch for you to relax on. In addition, the backyard is yours to enjoy. I lived in this house for 20 years before I've turned it over to you, my guests. Recently, we re-painted the dining room, kitchen and one of the 3rd floor bedrooms. The 2nd floor bathroom sink is new as well. As with all old houses, there are some cosmetic flaws; most people call those character. There are four stairs to get into the house, so sadly, it's not ADA compliant. The house is heated with radiators. It's important to know that there are no radiators on the 3rd floor. We'll have space heaters for you, if you need them, but a pair of socks and a hoodie is usually sufficient on the coldest days. There is no central AC in the house. Most rooms have ceiling fans which really do make a big difference for temperature control in the summer. Three of the bedrooms will have window unit AC in the summer for your comfort. When I lived there, I had maybe 10-15 days a year I needed AC upstairs. We've got a Keurig for you with coffee and tea in the vintage, mid-century, kitchen circa 1960. Although this house sleeps 10 adults and a kiddo in the crib, this is NOT a party house. We don't mind if you have a few friends over but parties are not permitted. If you have questions about what this means, please ask in advance of your booking. Guests who host a party will be charged a $500 fine. No smoking, vaping or illicit drug use permitted. Guests smoking or vaping inside the home will be charged a $500 fine. Please see "The Neighborhood" section below for all of the great things within a 10 minute drive, like the stadiums, downtown, The Warhol Museum and more! You get the whole house to yourselves! My husband and I live 10 minutes down the road from the house. If you need us, we are only a text or phone call away. I lived in this house for 20 years. Brighton Heights is a quiet suburban like neighborhood with friendly neighbors and well kept lawns. Within walking distance is a RiteAid drugstore, two barbershops, a laundromat (though we have a washer and dryer onsite), a coffee shop and butcher shop (one of the best in the city) is a walk in the other direction. Giant Eagle, a grocery store is walkable, however, it'll be uphill coming back carrying your groceries. Riverview park has great hiking trails, a playground and a pool (seasonal) We are 12 minutes by car from Heinz Field, PNC Park, Carnegie Science Center, The National Aviary, Mattress Factory, RandyLand, Alphabet City, the shops on Western Ave and the shops on East Ohio St. Downtown with all of the theaters and restaurants is about the same driving distance. McKnight Rd, that suburban mecca of shopping (Target, etc.) and chain restaurants is a 12-15 min drive as well. The 16 bus stops a block from the house. It will go downtown or out to Bellevue. Uber and Lyft are also quick and easy in Pittsburgh. Driving in this is city is always variable depending on traffic. With normal traffic we are 12 mins to downtown, 15 to Oakland (Pitt & CMU), 15 min to Sq. Hill, 15 min to South Side. So, we aren't far from anything.
