131 E Bruceton Road, PittsburghPleasant Hills, PA 15236Price: $380,000

This Pre-Inspected, handsome brick 3 bedroom home (with a brand new roof) has the warmth and character that makes Pleasant Hills such an enduring favorite to buyers. Hardwood floors, a beautiful fireplace and built-ins give the living room a classic feel, while large windows bring in plenty of natural light. The dining room is substantial enough for an actual dining table making Thanksgiving, birthdays, Sunday dinners and entertaining possible with natural connection to a well-designed kitchen with abundant cabinetry, stainless appliances and plenty of workspace. But what makes this home particularly appealing is how much usable living space it offers beyond the expected. The covered side porch is a terrific extension of the home, a shaded spot for morning coffee, summer dinners or simply relaxing while overlooking the yard. The outdoor space continues into a nicely maintained backyard framed by mature landscaping and retaining walls. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms with hardwood floors, while downstairs adds an entirely different dimension. The finished lower level, complete with a full bathroom, gives you the flexibility buyers are always asking for but rarely find in homes of this era: family room, playroom, home office, workout space and guest rooms. Even the smaller spaces have been put to work, with smart storage, attractive finishes and thoughtful updates throughout. And then there's the location. Pleasant Hills is one of those South Hills communities people tend to discover and come to love with established streets, classic homes, a strong neighborhood feel and convenient access to shopping, dining and the major routes that connect you to the rest of Pittsburgh. Even though 131 E. Bruceton has a brand new roof, it isn't trying to be a brand new house. It's something much better: the character of an established Pittsburgh home, updated for the way people actually live today. 3 bedrooms. Finished lower level. Full lower-level bath. Covered porch. Beautiful hardwood floors. Great outdoor space. And a whole lot of house to call home. This is one you'll want to see in person.
