About this home
40 48th Street is one of those rare Lawrenceville homes that feels collected over time, where its character and craftsmanship make this home feel truly special. Positioned prominently on the corner, the residence immediately distinguishes itself through architecture, texture, and atmosphere, most notably within the private courtyard patio created inside the preserved framework of a former adjoining structure. Professionally crafted ironwork by London Pattern Ironworks frames the windows and entry points, while mature rose vines, shaded trees, and layered greenery create an outdoor setting that feels more reminiscent of a tucked-away courtyard in a larger city than a typical Pittsburgh yard.
Originally dating back to the 1890s, the home balances historic architecture with thoughtful modern functionality in a way that feels intentional and highly individualized. Exposed brick walls, reclaimed materials, and custom craftsmanship are integrated throughout without feeling overly restored or overly polished. The result is a residence with real texture, warmth, and architectural presence.
Inside, the main living space is anchored by exposed brick and a remote-start gas fireplace, a feature rarely found in Lawrenceville’s historic housing stock. Newly installed luxury vinyl plank flooring at the main living level, completed in 2025, introduces a cleaner modern contrast against the home’s original materials. The layout unfolds naturally for entertaining, connecting the living and dining areas to a kitchen equipped with Fisher & Paykel and DCS appliances, built-in wine refrigeration, cherry wood cabinetry, and gathering spaces that comfortably shift between quiet evenings and larger dinner parties.
Just beyond the kitchen, a secondary outdoor living area extends the home’s entertaining footprint. Enclosed by warm horizontal fencing and surrounded by garden beds ready for seasonal plantings, herbs, or vegetables, the rear patio creates a more intimate outdoor setting that complements the larger courtyard experience at the front of the property.
The home’s layout also offers an uncommon level of flexibility for urban living, including what could function as two distinct primary suites. The second-floor suite features exposed brick accents, expansive windows, updated flooring, and a spacious bath finished with natural stone and multiple rain-style shower heads. An additional guest bedroom and full bath complete the level.
Occupying its own private floor, the third-level suite delivers a loft-inspired retreat defined by vaulted ceilings, skylights, and exceptional natural light. Custom barn doors handcrafted from reclaimed original flooring with stained glass inserts lead into a spa-like bath featuring heated floors, a clawfoot soaking tub, dual vanity, and a tiled shower enclosed in custom glass. Three separate closets provide a level of storage rarely associated with city homes of this era.
Beyond the design and architecture, the property reflects meaningful long-term investment and care, including approximately $20,000 in professional brick repointing completed by Three Rivers Brick Pointing in 2025, a new HVAC air conditioning system installed in 2023, and a new furnace installed in 2024.
Located within one of Lawrenceville’s most connected and design-conscious pockets, the home offers convenient access to UPMC Children’s Hospital, universities, Oakland, Downtown Pittsburgh, and the Strip District, while remaining moments from acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood coffee shops, galleries, independent boutiques, and seasonal farmers markets woven into the rhythm of daily life.
40 48th Street is a highly individualized architectural residence designed for buyers who value craftsmanship, atmosphere, originality, and a more refined interpretation of urban living....
