Located on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, a neighborhood heavily rooted in the culture of the once industrial revolution and cradled around Chateau, your farthest neighbor was called “Allegheny City”. Today, a rapidly transitioning neighborhood as development awaits the groundbreaking Esplanade Project, along the Allegheny Riverfront just a short jaunt away. The community is known for its historical homes with unique architectural features such as ornate brickwork, high ceilings, vestibule entryways, sweeping ornate staircases, rooms with pocket doors, and large windows with beautiful millwork surrounding them. The fireplaces are typically the focal point in the spaces with several chimneys, as these homes did not have modern HVAC at one time. Today, most homes are modernized with updated lighting, plumbing, HVAC, and energy-saving appliances.
1003 North Franklin boasts approx—2,800 square feet of living space on three floors of living. The part of the historic neighborhood's old-world charm begins at the home's entrance. Traditional tiled vestibule with foyer lighting and dashing oak staircase glides downwards at you. The living room features a large open space in the formal dining room with gleaming hardwood floors. Head back towards the kitchen with granite and quartz surface stone, a furniture-centered island, and lots of cabinet space. Stainless steel appliances, gas hood range with pot filler surrounded by the unique tiled backsplash. Traveling to the second-floor living space, you find the laundry room and two guest suites. One, in particular, can be your primary suite with an eclectic bathroom, fun ceramic tile, and artsy flare. Head up to the third floor you will find two more guest bedrooms sharing a whimsical jack-and-jill bathroom. There is a quaint backyard for grilling and entertaining and low maintenance. Minutes to Downtown Pittsburgh, Rt. 65 and 20 minutes to PIA. Walk to the stadiums and Casino, the “T” and PAT Transit.
