This single family brick fixer upper boasts 1658 sf of living space! Located in central Squirrel Hill, it's a 2 block walk to the business district, bus stops, and short walk to schools. The living and dining rooms are spacious. Sun room is listed as the den. First floor powder room is part of a 2-story addition on the back of the house. The property has rear alley access for creating a parking pad. This home is in need of major TLC. Not for the faint of heart. While the house was unoccupied, it appears heating pipes burst. A substantial amount of mold-like growth covers surfaces on the first floor and in the basement. House is full of furniture and other debris. Bring a flashlight to view basement, and if you're not a contractor, bring a contractor. No heat, water or electricity. Enter and show at your own risk. Seller never occupied and knows very little about condition of property. With your rebuilding and updating, this could be a lovely home again. House conveys 'as is where is.'
