About this home
178 42nd Street is the type of Central Lawrenceville duplex investors are constantly trying to find but rarely do: updated, functional, full of character, and positioned in one of the neighborhood’s most desirable pockets just off Butler Street.
The property was extensively renovated in 2014, creating two well-designed apartments that feel bright, comfortable, and easy to rent. Exposed brick accents, tall ceilings, recessed lighting, oversized windows, and thoughtfully updated interiors give both units a clean urban feel while still keeping the character people expect in Lawrenceville.
The upper unit offers a spacious two-level layout with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a rear deck directly off the kitchen that adds valuable outdoor living space tenants love. The lower two-bedroom, two-bath apartment features a smart layout with bedrooms positioned apart from one another for added privacy along with comfortable shared living spaces and outdoor space off the front entrance.
Both units feature stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, in-unit laundry, modern lighting, and updated finishes throughout. Additional improvements over the years include updated appliances, carpeting, and roof and gutter improvements completed by Resnick Roofing in 2024. A large-scale exterior mural by Pittsburgh artist Jeremy Raymer further gives the property a memorable presence within the neighborhood.
The location is a major part of the appeal. Butler Street’s restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and neighborhood favorites are all nearby including The Abbey, Piccolo Forno, Condado, Bierport Tap Room, and Cork Harbour Pub. Arsenal Park, the seasonal Lawrenceville Farmers Market, boutique shopping, and everyday conveniences all help make this one of Pittsburgh’s most consistently in-demand rental neighborhoods.
Quick access to UPMC Children’s Hospital, universities, the Strip District, and Downtown Pittsburgh continues to drive strong tenant demand from medical professionals, graduate students, and city renters looking for an urban lifestyle with convenience built into daily life.
178 42nd Street offers the combination investors look for in Lawrenceville: strong location, functional layouts, outdoor space, authentic character, and updates already in place within one of the city’s most established and consistently desirable neighborhoods....
