About 703 Saint James Street
Historic Shadyside character meets the ease of condominium living at 703 Saint James Street. Set along one of the neighborhood’s most distinguished residential streets, this second-floor condominium residence offers two levels of private living space and the scale, warmth, and architectural presence of a classic Pittsburgh home.
Built circa 1900, the residence showcases original Tiger’s Eye White Oak floors, substantial moldings, built-in cabinetry, high ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace. The main living level features gracious gathering spaces, a Viking Professional 36-inch six-burner range, and a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet, additional closet space, and en-suite bath with smart toilet and bidet.
The second level adds two large bedrooms and a full bath, with newly added interior stairs improving flow and functionality between the two levels. Two exceptional office spaces offer flexibility for modern living, including one with a private balcony and sound-dampening door, and another with built-ins and an attached half bath. Recent updates include new windows, carpet, blinds, re-grouted kitchen and bathroom tile, updated electrical panel, new second-level HVAC in 2023, new main-level HVAC in 2025, and a new patio door and private deck off the front office in 2024. Large additional basement storage and a one-car garage space are included.
The HOA supports a more service-conscious ownership experience, with items that include lawn care, snow removal, window cleaning, gutter cleaning and clearing, and HOA insurance policy. Minutes from Walnut Street, Ellsworth Avenue, restaurants, boutiques, universities, hospitals, and downtown Pittsburgh, 703 Saint James offers historic architecture, generous interior space, condominium convenience, and a more manageable way to own in the heart of Shadyside.
