    What's special

    Available as of 3/1 for daily showings. Call, text, or email Evan. Buyer's Agent Commission negotiable - bring your buyers realtors. 15 Defoe Street is a 1929 Craftsman style home located on a tree-lined, brick-paved street with a great view of Riverview Park in the Observatory Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Since purchasing the house in August of 2015 (we are the third owners), we've completely remodeled the entire house (interior, exterior, yard, and garage) from top to bottom. Renovations include 100% new windows, 100% new plumbing (including replacement of water supply line and sewer line), 100% new electrical, 100% new central HVAC, kitchens, bathrooms, new deck, major landscaping, and interior and exterior painting. After turning off of Perrysville Ave, 15 Defoe immediately stands out on the street. The front of the house faces Defoe Street, while the rear of the home sits on Semicir Street where the 1.5 car garage is located. This unique position allows for ample parking, especially on Semicir Street which has very few homes. As you walk up to the front door, you'll see a freshly installed concrete sidewalk leading to the covered front patio. There are two front doors, one primary leading into the foyer and one secondary leading into the sunroom area (perfect for Christmas trees!). Upon entering into the open foyer, you'll notice all of the original woodwork. One set of french doors leads to the spacious living room with recessed lighting, built-in bookshelves, two stained glass windows, ceiling fan, and ventless natural gas fireplace. The living room is open to the inviting sunroom which also has a wood pellet stove. Another set of french doors leads to the dining room which also includes built-in China cabinets, two stained glass windows, recessed lighting, and a great view of Riverview Park. The dining room opens to the kitchen which was completely remodeled with new tile floor, cabinets (also kept the original), Whirlpool SS appliances, recessed lighting, and granite countertops. The kitchen also has an opening to the functioning laundry chute. Leading from the kitchen to the stairs is a cozy coffee/wine nook which includes a wine cooler. While climbing the stairs to the second floor you'll notice the fifth large stained glass window on the landing. The large master bedroom includes two ample-sized closets and a ceiling fan. The two other spacious bedrooms, one with a view of Riverview Park, include good size closets and ceiling fans. The master bathroom is all new with double-sink vanity, restored original cabinetry, and large shower. The original hallway bath has a new vanity, tile floor, and updated plumbing. One more set of stairs leads to the third floor which includes the office (or bedroom) with large built-in desk as well as a half-bath. The full basement has been partially finished with a media room/bar, half-bath, laundry area, and workshop. There is also a very large storage area with shelving as well as another closet which is perfect for household products. The basement also includes an exterior door leading to the east side of the house. Directly off of the kitchen is the rear deck which overlooks Riverview Park. The deck has an outdoor TV hookup and natural gas hookup for a grill. Stairs lead to the top of the garage which can also be used for entertaining. Further descending the stairs leads to Semicir Street and the garage in the rear of the house.
