2828 Spring Street, PittsburghSouth Side, PA 15210Price: $199,000

This is not your typical Pittsburgh home, and that's exactly the point. This distinctive brick storefront in Arlington offers 2,060 square feet of flexible live/work space with LNC zoning, giving you room to create, work, gather and live all under one roof. Used by the current owner as a home, office and production studio, the space has evolved alongside a growing creative business and is ready for whatever comes next. Step through the storefront entrance into an expansive first-floor studio/workspace where exposed ceiling joists, original hardwood floors and industrial details set the tone. The front area has been thoughtfully reworked with exposed beams that can double as mounts for photo and video lighting. Continue into the open dining and kitchen area, where exposed brick, oversized openings and unexpected architectural details give the home its one-of-a-kind loft-like character. A bright rear sunroom offers even more flexible space for an office, studio, lounge or creative workspace, while a convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, three bedroom areas and a full bath provide separation from the workspaces below, with hardwood floors and abundant natural light throughout. Laundry and additional storage are located in the basement. Outside, a surprisingly spacious backyard offers southern exposure, while alley access provides two off-street parking spaces-a major bonus for a city property. Recent improvements include a refrigerator, water heater and boiler installed in 2020, along with a new roof completed the same year. With easy access to Allentown and the South Side, 2828 Spring Street is equal parts home, studio and blank canvas. Whether you envision a creative headquarters, gallery, office, production space or simply a seriously cool place to call home, this is a property built for thinking outside the box.
