About 1218 Brighton Road
Beautifully renovated Mexican War Streets charmer! Fully renovated from the studs in 2016, you will find elegant, exaggerated woodwork throughout the entire home, from crown molding and detailed window casing to decorative fireplaces. To provide modern convenience and efficiency, thoughtful custom built-ins and smart-home upgrades are seamlessly integrated throughout this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home.
The first floor features a cozy living room, dining room, half bath, and a fully equipped kitchen with brand-new Samsung Bespoke appliances, including an induction range, microwave/convection oven, refrigerator with dual ice dispensers/auto-fill pitcher, and an island with seating for the audience while the chef is cooking!
On the second floor, two bedrooms offer versatility, with the possibility of a full-floor owner’s suite or individual rooms. The expansive primary bathroom is a spa-like retreat, featuring a jetted tub, heated toilet seat, a double vanity, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with a custom tile surround.
The third floor houses two more bedrooms, another fully-renovated bathroom with a classic white tiled shower/tub, and a laundry closet equipped with high-end smart washer and steam dryer. Skylights in the hallway ensure maximum natural light flow.
Step outside to discover a charming small fully enclosed courtyard between the house and the garage. This intimate space provides room for some light gardening and a convenient spot for your pets to take a quick bathroom break. The oversized 1-car garage is a showstopper, featuring two overhead garage doors. One door is solid against the alley, while the other is fully glass, providing a seamless transition to the courtyard. This versatile garage can be used as a seasonal outdoor entertaining space or as a parking area. Additionally, the garage roof was built to accommodate a rooftop deck, adding to its functionality.
The front facade of the house just completed a full restoration including total refurbishment of the slate mansard roof, new copper gutters & flashing, and composite porch floor, all designed to be maintenance free. A new hybrid heat pump H2O tank was recently installed to enhance energy efficiency. Great dry storage space, work areas, and cabinets can be found in the basement. Smart switches, cameras, doorbells convey along with the smart hub they operate through. Ethernet is run through much of the house for networking success!
This home is located in one of Pittsburgh’s most walkable neighborhoods, just a short stroll away from charming shops, restaurants, museums, and the sports stadiums. The neighborhood also boasts beautiful public park space, offering residents a chance to enjoy nature and recreation!
