Property Description

Nicely renovated 2 bedroom 1 bath solid brick townhome with block wall between adjoining unit on lovely hillside neighborhood behind Edgewood Town Center. Owner occupied by an artist who updated the unit ‘24 – ‘26 to include a side garden with flat grassy area and several terraced gardens with organic vegetable and fruits. New concrete back patio area fits bistro table for enjoying privacy with a private walkway with arched trellis to side street with brick pavers. This charming hideaway was featured in the latest Swissvale Edible Garden Tour! Front porch has beautiful sunset views looking out over the tree line of Frick Park. Top floor windows have tree-lined sunset views. New engineered hardwood flooring running throughout and fresh, neutral paint. New windows throughout under lifetime warranty. The sparkling kitchen features updated stainless steel dishwasher, stove, and fridge plus granite counters and all new cabinetry. Renovated bathroom waterproofed with cement board features new subway tiles, new fixtures, new wood-look floor tile, and new toilet & vanity. New roof is under warranty, new hot water tank and pressure regulator, new electric panel with upgraded service, and basement waterproofing system installed with warranty. All this tucked onto a corner lot on the lovely tree-lined Westmoreland Ave in Swissvale right on the border of Edgewood. The mostly flat street brings lots of neighbors past as they walk to the dog park just down the street. Minutes to walk to the local coffee shop & highly-rated dining a few blocks away. Bike or drive to Edgewood Town Center for groceries, pet store, restaurants, bank, & office complex. Bus stop two blocks away. Entrance to Frick Park on Highland is bikeable from here as are shops and restaurants in Regent Square. Also close to Squirrel Hill & Bakery Square; big box stores and chain restaurants a few exits up the parkway in Monroeville (10-15 min) or across the river at The Waterfront (10-15 min). Some of the special garden features include, new retaining walls in back with french drains on both levels. A pollinator garden along the side street sidewalk with native wildflowers and serviceberry trees. On the back terrace a flower/herb garden, black chokeberry, and three different paw paw tree varieties to ensure cross pollination for fruiting. Organic vegetable garden with deer fencing. Currently growing blueberries, butterball potatoes, chives, peppermint and roses. Thornless blackberry garden with wood and wire trellis in front/side yard, produces nice crop of blackberries each year. The yard is graded and filled with topsoil, seeded lawn mixed with grasses and some native edible plants allowed to grow for soil amendment and foraging. Garden is organic and compost-fed, no heavy chemicals used. Many birds, butterflies, bees, ladybugs and lightning bugs come to visit the garden and it is joyful to watch! Don't miss the chance to make this charming scene your home.
