Property Description
Step from the fenced backyard through the gate and directly onto Frick Park's trails. Enjoy morning walks, weekend runs, hiking, or time outdoors without ever having to drive to the park. This incredible connection makes the property truly unique.
Inside, the home showcases beautiful craftsmanship, including rich wood trim and doors, ornamental glass, detailed millwork, generous windows, custom lighting, and granite flooring throughout the first floor. The spacious living room features a built-in bookshelf and gas fireplace, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, movie nights, or cozy evenings at home. Genuine 5000 piece chandeliers specially ordered and made for this house, adding an elegant finishing touch. Approximately $6,000 in wood blinds throughout the home provide both style and privacy.
The kitchen is a standout feature with brand-new, never-used appliances, abundant cabinet space, and a convenient island for cooking and entertaining. The kitchen flows into the spacious dining room through swinging doors and provides access to the charming side porch.
The flexible bedroom layout offers three bedrooms with the potential to restore a fourth. The expansive primary suite was created by combining two original bedrooms, providing exceptional space for furniture and storage. Two additional bedrooms each feature their own full bathroom and generous closet space. A finished attic provides valuable additional space for storage, hobbies, an office, or future customization.
The finished lower level adds even more versatility with granite flooring, a spacious bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, a living room/den, laundry room with washer and dryer, and a dedicated pet wash station. The lower level also provides direct access to the spacious two-car garage with additional storage.
Outdoor living is equally appealing. The level, fenced backyard features two gates for added security and convenience, a backyard patio, and a concrete-walled rear porch approximately one year old. The property also offers off-street parking and multiple exterior access points.
Numerous updates add value and peace of mind, including a heating and A/C system approximately two years old, drainage and grading improvements, new fencing, and the newer rear porch and patio. The roof is approximately 14 years old, offering an advantage over comparable homes with older roofing.
Located in desirable Squirrel Hill, this home provides convenient access to shopping, dining, universities, cultural destinations, parks, and trails. 2488 Mount Royal Road offers character, flexibility, modern improvements, and a backyard connection to one of Pittsburgh's most treasured parks—all in one exceptional property.
