About this home
There's a certain kind of home that stops you the moment you walk in, and 242 S Home Ave is exactly that. From the entryway forward, you're greeted by beautiful original hardwood floors that flow throughout the home, paired with stunning stained glass windows , and the craftspersonship of a bygone era. These are the kinds of details you simply can't recreate — they're the soul of the house.
With 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, there's room here for everyone: a dedicated home office, a guest room for your recently divorced brother-in-law, or a craft room for all your artsy fartsiness. The layout offers both flexibility and comfort, whether you're settling in for a quiet evening or got conned into hosting Thanksgiving.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully and fully updated, blending modern convenience with the timeless character of the home. It's a rare balance: a home that feels current and livable, without losing the grandeur and warmth of its period design.
Outside, practicality meets peace of mind with off-street parking, so you'll never have to worry about competing for a spot. And for those who love a good book (or even a bad one), the neighborhood library sits right across the street — imagine picking up a new cookbook and returning to your gorgeous kitchen to whip up your concoctions! Or popping by before a big snow storm to grab a page turner to pass the afternoon in your coffered ceilinged living room. A dream come true...
This is a home that offers the best of both worlds: timeless architectural character and thoughtful modern updates, all wrapped up in one of the loveliest neighborhoods in Pittsburgh....
