842 Lilac St Greenfield, PA 15217

This lovely, meticulously maintained all-brick home in the heart of Pittsburgh is ready and waiting for its new owner! Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by an inviting covered front porch, perfect for relaxing. Come inside to the spacious living room, full of sunlight, with charming built-in original wood shelving providing appealing character. Dual arched doorways lead to a separate dining room, creating a flowing layout that is unique & uncommon to other homes of this era; ideal for hosting gatherings, large or small. The kitchen is simply adorable, L-shaped with coffered ceilings & plenty of countertop space for the chef in your family, plus a sweet farmhouse sink & 5-burner stainless steel gas stove. Upstairs you'll find three sizable bedrooms, including master with bonus space for dressing room or to build out another closet, adding to the already ample closet/storage space throughout. The full bath has been updated & conveniently outfitted with a curbless/zero-threshold shower with seat, which glides seamlessly into the vanity area & toilet nook. Attractive white subway tile lines the walls from floor to ceiling, complemented by straight lay grid floor tile for a uniform look, both functional & aesthetically pleasing, with skirting tile for a finished edge. The finished basement area provides an excellent place for entertaining & lounging, with plenty of light from windows, as this room is above ground level. Watch the game or enjoy a classic movie in this cute extra space. The mudroom is perfect for storing your outdoor gear. Walk out back to another covered back porch, & experience the vast, partially flat, grassy backyard! Like a suburban home in the city, there is so much room for kids to play & pets to run outside, making the most of Pittsburgh's pleasant springs & summers, or creating snowmen & angels in winter! Designing offstreet parking is more than possible using the alley behind the home. There is potentially enough space to accommodate at least 2 vehicles. Back inside, there is an additional portion of the basement, which serves as storage but has high ceilings & could easily be finished for even more living space. It includes a functional Pittsburgh potty, which greatly simplifies the process of adding another bath. This home is presently 100% ADA accessible, with outside front lift & stairlifts on both sets of steps inside, making it a perfect alternative to one-level living in a ranch house or condominium, for those who prefer privacy & extra space. The shower is step-less & grab bars flank the walls for safety. The mobility/access apparatuses can also be very easily removed should a buyer desire. Best of all, this home has an unbeatable location. Mere seconds from Magee Field, pool, & recreational center; 2 minutes to main thoroughfare I-376 & to Squirrel Hill; & less than 10 minutes from all of the following: South Side Works, Waterfront, Downtown, Phipps Conservatory, Carnegie Museum & Library, Squirrel Hill's famed pizza shops, Oakland's hospitals & universities & a great deal more. Hike & bike in nearby Schenley & Frick Parks, or go ice skating at Schenley Rink, less than 5 minutes by car. Choose from multiple playgrounds, at least 6 or 7 within a mile radius alone! Award-winning schools in this public school district are another plus. Move right into this home, or renovate - either is feasible! With a few updates, this amazing house can offer you size, space, location, historical charm, & live/work/play space for a lifetime or for the meantime. Owner occupy, or invest, as there is also tremendous lucrative potential for a full renovation. This part of town is hot! 842 Lilac has been home to one family for generations, & it has been lovingly cared for over many years. Solid as can be, this oldie-but-goodie is ready to be made new again!
