About this property
Eclectic Historic Sunny Vista Home with City Views, Northshore
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. This wonderful home is in the community of Pittsburgh’s best kept secret, historic Fineview. Enjoy magical sunsets and fireworks displays right from the front yard. This home has views of PNC Park and the North Shore It is just minutes to Downtown, AGH, North Shore dining and activities. Easy access to I-279 and the parkway. Get your exercise on the nearby fitness trail, recreation area or explore beautiful Riverview Park.
From the house you will be able to walk out the front door and down the street onto the scenic overlook of the city. The home is in Fineview, a quiet residential neighborhood.
It is close to the local Carnegie library, several pizza/sub shops, and other unique eateries. The house is within driving distance of full-service grocery stores, drug stores, coffee shops, dry cleaners, gas stations, restaurants, bars, and other night life, however, all of these types of establishments are within one or two miles. Unique to the area is the local Bread Works for delicious artistry breads.
The house is close to the Pittsburgh Children's Museum, the Andy Warhol Museum, the Carnegie Science Center, the National Aviary, PNC Park, Acrisure Stadium (Heinz Field), and other Northshore amenities.
There is a wonderful outdoor recreation space at the top of the street. The access is free for everyone to use.
Explore the fitness trail just down the street or the woods at nearby Riverview Park. Created in 1894, the park predates the City of Allegheny’s annexation to the City of Pittsburgh in 1907. Formed largely from farmland, today’s Riverview Park is known for its dense woodlands and steep topography.The park’s extensive network of trails invites hikers, joggers, and the occasional horseback rider into the woods. The park is also home to the landmark Allegheny Observatory, a visitor’s center, a swimming pool and activities building, the natural beauty of the Mairdale watershed, and the popular two-mile Riverview Loop. Residents enjoy the park's pool, playground, ball field, shelters and summertime concerts and movies.
There are an extensive choice of trails to choose from if you like to hike or mountain bike. The terrain is hilly with a wide variety of flora and fauna. The park is rich in wildlife so don't be surprised to see deer, possum, raccoons, turkeys, ground hogs and the occasional fox at night. The wildlife is very docile and are used to being around people. Please remember that although they are gentle, their personal space needs to be respected.

Why they chose this property
I have lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years and the views of the city are spectacular! The neighborhood is a quiet community and neighbors are very friendly. It is a very quiet neighborhood, with ample wildlife and is only about a 7 minute drive from all the cities amenities. (Depending on time of day, route taken and traffic). It is close to the North Shore stadiums, restaurants, museums, and fitness/biking trails.
I love walking the park and exploring the trails. The 259-acre Riverview Park is known for its dense woodlands and steep topography. It is nestled between Perrysville Avenue, Woods Run, and Marshall Avenue, park is known for its wooded trails and dramatically steep hillsides. The park’s extensive network of trails invites hikers, joggers, and the occasional horseback rider into the woods. The park is also home to the landmark Allegheny Observatory, a visitor’s center, a swimming pool and activities building, the natural beauty of the Mairdale watershed, and the popular two-mile Riverview Loop. In the summer you can enjoy the park's swimming pool, playground, ball field, shelters, summertime concerts and movies.

What makes this property unique
The house is a historic home and I wanted to keep the charm of the original design but incorporate some modern updates. The original lights add ambient light to the living room and I fell in love with the the warmth of the original fireplace tile design as soon as I saw it. The kitchen cupboards are spacious and I love the high ceilings. The backyard is spacious and the perfect place to relax in the summer. Up the street you will find a community park with a pickle ball court, jogging track, playground, basketball hoop, and a picnic area.
