About this property

Backyard Escape Minutes From Downtown, Fenced Yard

Put your large group within minutes of downtown! This thoughtfully-designed, 5 BR, 3 bathroom home features a modern kitchen, bright rooms, and 2 king beds.

A lush fenced-in yard offers privacy and serenity (and a hot tub). It's a great space for children & pets.

Conveniently located just across the river from the Strip and Cultural District, enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, and attractions while retreating to a quiet, welcoming backyard. A fine blend of city living and relaxation.

Enter through the front door to find the living room on your left, and notice how the the rooms flow one to the next - living, dining, kitchen - making an ideal gathering and hangout space for a larger group.

The first floor also includes a bonus bedroom all the way at the back of the house, and a full bathroom beyond the kitchen. This bedroom also exits onto the rear deck.

You can also exit into the backyard and driveway area through the kitchen. This door also serves as the second entrance to the house, if you park in the driveway.

Outdoor areas: The yard is completely fenced-in and private, with a gated driveway (lockable) as the only entry point from outside. There is deck behind the house with a hot tub, looking out over the secluded backyard.

The second floor includes two bedrooms with generous closet space, both with king beds. In the hallway there is full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

The third floor has two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom, along with a closet for the washer and dryer. Both third floor bedrooms have queen beds. The front bedroom adds a twin day bed, and the back bedroom adds a crib and a children's play area. Plus a nice view of the Pittsburgh skyline.

All bedrooms have Roku TVs, except the second and third floor rear bedrooms.

What a fantastic property

We had a large group stay at The Heart of Deutschtown! The space was incredibly accommodating and well done! The hosts were incredibly responsive. The location can't be beat. Our group did the zoo, children's museum, baseball game, water park, pickleball, runs, walks, grocery runs, etc. and we were relatively close to everything! Thank you to the hosts for making our family stay in Pittsburgh one to remember.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location couldn’t be better—close to everything, yet peaceful and relaxing. The attention to detail throughout the home really stood out, from the well-stocked kitchen to the thoughtful décor touches that made it feel warm and inviting.The three beautifully renovated bathrooms, conveniently spread out across all floors, made it especially easy and comfortable for our group. The layout is ideal for hosting a larger gathering without ever feeling crowded.The backyard was truly a highlight. It's beautifully maintained, perfect for relaxing or dining outside, and the hot tub was such a nice bonus—especially after a day of exploring.Andrew was a great communicator and made the entire process smooth and easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or a better place to stay—and we’d definitely return!

I liked it!

The hosts made themselves easily accessible. The house is adorable. I don’t really have my city feet and the neighborhood caught me off guard at first. But it grew on us for sure and we enjoyed walking around, finding great places to eat and being in such close driving distance from everything else. If you want to stay in Deutachtown, this is just wonderful!
