Within the City limits, but it feels like country! Very close to Riverview Park, which is a 259 acre Park owned by the City of Pittsburgh. This is an adorable house located on a street with little traffic. This house is PERFECT for the minimalist that wants HOME OWNERSHIP instead of paying rent; or maybe an investor that does want a good rental income. Newer roof, newer windows, and a high efficiency furnace. Plenty of room for a garden too! Inside, the floors are all low maintenance laminate material. Bedroom has a nice size closet. The living room is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen and is just the right size for furniture placement. The kitchen cabinetry is adequate for the cook. The (space saver) bathroom/utility room is located in the rear of the house along with the furnace and hot water tank. There is additional storage space in the utility room as well. Cute, adorable, and quaint is the best way to describe this house.
