About this property

Distinguished Victorian~Family-Focused~Quiet Area

Spread out but stay close to downtown in our 3,000 sq ft, 5 bedroom home.



Equipped for work and leisure! With ultra-fast FiOS internet, 5 Smart TVs, and all the modern comforts.



And we`ve worked to retain all the classic touches of this historic Victorian landmark.



IDEAL FOR:



* Families

* Visitors seeking a quiet, outdoor setting

* Groups traveling for work



Please review our House Rules and message us before booking!



A three-story home with 5 bedrooms boasting a total of 8 beds and nearly 3,000 square feet, you and your group will have plenty of private spaces to wind down, or gather in the spacious common areas.



You`ll have a choice of unique mattresses with different firmness levels to ensure a comfortable and quiet night`s sleep.



* Master bedroom: The lucky guests who claim this entire 3rd floor for their stay will get to enjoy a King bed, a day bed with a trundle, a crib, a workspace, and their own private living area with a 65` smart TV

* Our second floor includes 3 comfortable bedrooms, each with queen beds and Smart TVs. There`s also a 4th (children`s) bedroom with a twin over full bunk bed that sleeps up to 3. Be sure to take note of charming details like the hand-painted fireplace tiles and views of the friendly neighborhood. The second floor also has a centrally located updated full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

* Living room: Relax in the comfort of an old-world parlor, only this one has a wall-mounted 55` smart TV.

* Dining room: Since the bedrooms can hold so many people in comfort, so should the dining room. Surrounded by original cabinets and fireplace, this room can easily serve a party of 10

* Kitchen: What good would such a large dining room be without the kitchen to go with it? The stainless appliances in the chef`s kitchen (microwave, fridge, oven, Keurig, French press, toaster, toaster oven, blender and dishwasher) are sure to give you everything you`ll need for a meal worthy of a wonderful stay. The gas oven alone features a commercial hood, broiler, griddle and heat lamps to keep everything nice and toasty.

* 3 season porch: Expand the living room through the double doors into the bright and sunny 3 season porch. A great place to enjoy your morning coffee.

* Playroom: right off the kitchen, we`ve recently added a children`s living room and play kitchen, complete with books and games, overlooking the backyard through bright bay windows

* Outside: The flat, elevated corner lot is a great private place to grill or play with the family in the backyard.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew

Host profile image
I'm Andrew, and I cannot express to you enough how happy I am to be back in my hometown of Pittsburgh. After growing up in the area's declining steel industry, and moving to New England for about 9 years, I'm finally back to the only city that ever felt like home.

I started Steel River Ventures as a way to embrace the city I love when I moved back home to Pittsburgh in 2017. Now I want to share my homes and my city with our guests! I've been fortunate enough to grow over the years along with Pittsburgh and watch it transform. With every day that passes, I discover something else about this city that I love and would be happy to share that with you.

I am more than happy to be as active a host as you'd like. By default, you as a guest will have your privacy, but I'm always available to meet and share my thoughts on the area with you. Be warned though, I love Pittsburgh and that will come through in our conversations!

My primary income is working in vocational learning technology, but I am a car guy at heart. Whenever my schedule allows, I try to get to local track events at roadcourses, auto-cross or hillclimb venues. I enjoy teaching performance driving, car control and driver safety as well. I also try to read a little (usually non-fiction), visit the gym as often as possible, and spend time with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

Since moving back to the city, I've been learning everything I can about local history and architecture, which is part of the reason I purchased this home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and let me know if you'd like to meet or if there is anything I can do to help make your stay the best it can be.

What makes this property unique

Some of my favorite things about this home are the variety of rooms that all provide unique attributes while being inviting and comfortable. The location is spectacular! Being in between the airport and downtown couldn't be more convenient, although as quiet as a rural neighborhood. The commute into the Golden Triangle through the West End Village avoids rush hour traffic coming to and from Pittsburgh's busy South Hills. I really enjoy the privacy of the spacious master bedroom with its own comfortable living room. The large dining room is centrally located making for a great space to bring everyone together for meals and games on the repurposed glass table.
