3201 Shady Avenue Ext, Pittsburgh, PA 15217

On a quiet, tree-lined street in South Squirrel Hill, 3201 Shady Ave. Ext. is a large brick, single family home, on a level lot. The home welcomes you with great curb-appeal. The owners recently extended the driveway to accommodate larger cars, and there is room for two cars off-street. The raised planter bed in front provides a place for flowers to bloom most of the year, and there is a covered front porch.Entering, you notice first the size of the living room. It is a long space anchored at one end by a decorative fireplace, and there are multiple windows which usher in the natural light. Under foot are glossy hardwood floors. Off the living room is the charming formal dining room. The dining room has two large windows at the rear, and also pulls natural light from the living room. It too has the beautiful hardwood floors. Just off the dining room is the large kitchen. There is ample cabinetry, and loads of counter top space. Stainless steel appliances are also present. The kitchen has an area with a long counter top opposite the gas range where you can eat informally, and the additional counter top space adds more work space.Off the kitchen is the huge deck, which can be set up into a few different seating areas. The deck is an excellent place for dining alfresco, and there are no neighbors directly behind the home. Couple that with the mature trees in the back, and you have a very private setting. The deck also provides views to the east and south including the Waterfront.On the second floor is the over-sized master bedroom with its ample closet space. There are three windows in the master allowing waves of natural light to enter the room. There is enough space for a seating area.Opposite the master bedroom are two more bedrooms. One is currently used as an office with built-in case-work and it has a large closet.The main hallway bathroom has a ceramic tile ensconced shower, large vanity and mirror.The third floor has the large fourth bedroom, a rarity for Squirrel Hill homes at this price point, with two huge closets.The owners recently had two ductless mini-split air-conditioning units installed in the dining room (cools the whole first floor) and the master bedroom. The Mitsubishi units are whisper-quiet, and highly efficient. The rear retaining wall was also rebuilt. The owners have taken care of all the home's maintenance needs, and have created a turn-key home for the next owners.
