About this property
Serene, Smart, & Stylish—Near Downtown, w/ Parking
This renovated home blends a historic touch with modern luxury—original woodwork, pocket doors, and high-end finishes.
Nestled in a quiet neighborhood just 10 minutes from downtown, you can enjoy easy parking, a private deck with BBQ, and peaceful vibes after city adventures. A versatile home, it has been an ideal spot for families, groups, work crews, and extended stays.
And it makes a great homebase if you`re town for Pirates or Steelers games!
Here is a walk-through of the home:
Main Floor – Easy Living & Entertaining
Enter through the rear porch into a bright, flowing layout. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking and light gathering, while the living room and dining room flow together for easy connection. There’s also a powder room and direct access to a covered patio, small backyard, and grill.
Second Floor – Privacy + Comfort for All
Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements. The spacious primary bedroom includes an ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath, and one room is ideal for a single sleeper or child. Everyone gets room to relax.
Third Floor – Retreat-Style Bonus Space
Upstairs, two large bedrooms give guests even more privacy and quiet—ideal for groups, teens, or those who like to spread out. Soft natural light and generous square footage make this level feel like its own escape.
There is also a washer and dryer in the basement, always available for your laundry needs.

Guests are expected to read and honor the House Rules. No events/parties allowed, and only booked guests can be there at any time. Pet fees for pre-approved pets are $25 per night, up to two pets and are non-refundable.
You and your group will have the entire space all to yourselves. With easy, automated check-in and check-out using the Smart Lock, you can be sure to feel right at home during your stay.
I`m committed to doing whatever I can to make your stay the best it can be. I absolutely love this city and would be delighted to share with you some of my favorite restaurants, museums, parks or attractions. I respect your privacy and will communicate as little or as much as you wish.
We have some of the most beautiful streets in our neighborhood. Just a couple blocks away, you can find grand, detailed, historic homes to admire as you enjoy walking through one of Pittsburgh`s friendliest neighborhoods.
While bus routes are plentiful, traveling by car is extremely easy from our neighborhood. Whether you`re going Downtown, The North Shore, or the North Hills, this home is nearby without having to cross through the infamous mountains and tunnels. If your travels are taking you across the river into the South Hills, the bypasses easily allow you to avoid the bustling congested areas of the city.
I`m available to help make your stay the best it can be, but the level of communication is entirely up to you. It is always my pleasure to make suggestions on where to go and what to do - from museums to my favorite walkable streets.
You will also receive a guidebook three days before check-in with recommendations and instructions for the appliances in the home.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew
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.
