5738 Melvin is an all-brick Colonial in the heart of Squirrel Hill, steps away from the best of Murray and Forbes. Unique features with two large picture windows, plaster walls and a marble fireplace are just a few of the luxurious amenities this home has to offer. Thoughtfully designed and skillfully constructed, the home boasts unique architectural features such as 180° curved plaster wall edges, a flared staircase with a wrought Iron handrail, decorative kitchen ceiling beams and posts, and front porch brick arches. The detached garage offers convenience, and the large rear patio provides a private area to relax. Central Heat and AC ensure comfort while you're not at one of the many fantastic restaurants or parks -- just a short walk away.
Updates include roof, windows, AC/heating, electrical box, upstairs bathroom, refinished kitchen cabinets, backsplash, flooring, granite countertops, faucets and sink, refinished hardwood, siding in rear, gutter guards, H20 tank and more!
