About this home
There’s something about this home that immediately feels familiar, the kind of place where memories were made for generations. Located in the heart of Pleasant Hills, 285 Tara Drive is full of character, charm, and opportunity for someone ready to bring it back to life.
This is not a move-in ready home, but what it does offer is increasingly hard to find: solid bones, timeless craftsmanship, and the feeling of “home” the moment you pull into the driveway. The beautiful brick exterior has stood the test of time and remains in excellent condition, while inside you’ll find spacious bedrooms with original hardwood floors just waiting to shine again.
Out front, the mature tree looks like the perfect climbing tree from childhood memories, a covered side porch overlooks a private backyard that feels peaceful and tucked away. It’s easy to imagine quiet mornings with coffee, summer evenings with family, and the next chapter being written here.
Set in desirable Pleasant Hills — known for its parks, trails, strong community feel, and highly regarded West Jefferson Hills School District — this property offers the chance to create something truly special in a location people love to call home. Convenient to Pittsburgh while still offering a quieter suburban setting.
If you can see the beauty in a fixer-upper and appreciate homes with heart, 285 Tara Drive may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for....
