257 Cascade Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15221

Charming and elegant tudor set in Edgewood Acres with lots of recent upgrades - one of the most beloved family neighborhoods on the east side of Pittsburgh, close to the parkway, bus route, neighborhood park and Forest Hills pool, and only 10 minutes from the Waterfront, downtown, Bakery Square or Monroeville shopping. Belgian stone home with slate roof features tiered gardens, lovely large side porch, 1 car garage, refinished front door and garage door, freshly painted (trim) exterior, redone garden walls, fully fenced back yard. The interior features masonry gas log fireplace, hardwood floors, arch details, beautiful ceramic tile in kitchen and bath, original mahogany trim, casement windows, a carpeted game room/office in a remodeled basement with (full) bath, updated paint and many updated light fixtures and electrical. A convenient arched doorway from living room to kitchen was also added to aid in modern living, while remaining true to the style. Master bedroom features a walk-in closet with organizers and an additional closet. There is a walk-up attic through 2nd bedroom closet, and additional storage in the basement. Neighborhood Description This neighborhood is truly a fairytale neighborhood and a genuine community. It's tree-lined and beautiful, filled with a unique collection of older homes, primarily in Tudor or Craftsman style, and ideal for walking/running. There is a small family park/playground about 1/4 mile down the street with new playground equipment and a nice field, and there are several neighborhood events. Most notable is the famous "Lower" Cascade Road block party, which takes place on this particular section of Cascade once a year. Everyone knows everyone else (including kids and pets), comes together to help neighbors in need and is genuinely a caring, fun group of people. Progressive dinners, neighborhood bands, outdoor Steeler game viewings and more are the norm here. Edgewood Acres was a dream come true for my family.
