Refreshed Observatory Hill cottage sits on a wooded triple lot with treetop views—an immense rarity for city living. This fully updated 3-bed, 1.5-bath abode is just 0.7 miles from Riverview Park and equally convenient to McKnight Road shopping and Downtown Pittsburgh. A shaded front porch introduces the main living space, featuring broad-appeal finishes and a statement fireplace. Luxury vinyl floors flow into the bright dining room and open-concept kitchen with stone counters and never-been-used appliances. A bonus alcove adds extra charm. Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits adjacent to a modernized full bath with a tile shower surround. Two additional bedrooms complete the second floor. The basement hosts a finished 200-square-foot bonus room, plus laundry and a half bath. Outdoor amenities include a rear porch overlooking the wildflower-dotted lot and one off-street parking space with room for more. Don’t miss it!
