Pittsburgh, PA 15219
Four finished levels, generous room proportions, two-car off-street parking, and a landscaped backyard give this wide Polish Hill home an impressive amount of space inside and out. With three bedrooms, two full baths, an elevated rear deck, flexible lower level, and substantial storage, there is considerable space here, but it is the thoughtful layout, strong natural light, and modern architectural details that make the home especially memorable.
The main level feels open without sacrificing definition between spaces. Wide-plank vinyl flooring runs throughout, complemented by neutral finishes, recessed lighting, and black metal stair railings that introduce a crisp architectural contrast. The living room transitions naturally into a dedicated dining area, where decorative pendant lighting creates a focal point before the space opens into the kitchen.
A wall of windows brings abundant natural light into the kitchen and draws attention to the leathered granite countertops, whose subtle texture gives the surfaces depth and a distinctly modern finish. A substantial center island provides seating and generous prep space while maintaining an easy connection to the dining and living areas. Glass-paneled French doors on the pantry cabinet add an unexpected design detail while keeping storage close at hand. Doors from both the kitchen and dining area open directly to the elevated rear deck, allowing the entire main floor to work equally well for a quiet night at home or a house full of friends.
Modern black railings frame the deck and overlook a landscaped backyard with lawn, established plantings, and gravel pathways. With the deck above and garden below, the outdoor space feels like a genuine extension of the house rather than simply space behind it. Two-car off-street parking adds another significant advantage.
Upstairs, the generous scale continues in the primary bedroom. A wall of windows with blackout shades spans one side of the room, joined by recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and an expansive wall of wardrobes. The adjoining full bath makes a strong visual statement with an oversized shower wrapped in dramatic floor-to-ceiling tile, a modern white vanity, and oversized black hexagonal floor tile. A second bedroom completes this level.
The top floor has a personality of its own. Interesting architectural ceiling lines and windows on multiple sides give the third bedroom dimension, while recessed lighting, neighborhood views, and a dedicated mini-split make the space comfortable and adaptable. Its proportions easily accommodate a bedroom alongside a substantial office, studio, or media room. An adjoining finished storage room doubles as an oversized closet, providing an impressive amount of dedicated storage.
The finished lower level adds another versatile living space with recessed lighting, neutral finishes, and direct access to the backyard and parking. There is room for a home office, gym, or a combination of uses, accompanied by a second full bath with stenciled concrete flooring and a modern tiled tub surround.
