Description
This charming 3 story brick building built circa 1870 is located at the corner of Tustin Street and Seneca Street in Pittsburgh (1 mile from downtown). The building is situated in SOHO (Uptown) between 5th Avenue and the Boulevard of the Allies. SOHO (Yes, there is a SOHO in Pittsburgh!) is an up and coming neighborhood with several artists in residence. This prime location is convenient to Duquesne University and Mercy Hospital. It will be 8 blocks from the new Pittsburgh Penguins hockey arena. It’s also on the bus line, which will take you to the University of Pittsburgh, UPMC Medical Center, Carlow College and Carnegie Mellon University within minutes.
This totally transformed building has 800 sq. feet of commercial space at street level with formal front entrance from Seneca St. and rear access from Tustin St. There is ample street parking. The commercial space interior is totally finished with 2 powder rooms and is ready for either a 20 seat restaurant or doctor’s office/clinic. The façade still needs a decorative front.
The 2 story modern loft apartment is 1300 sq. feet and is located directly above the commercial space. This is an ideal situation for living and working, given today’s astronomical gas prices! Its ceilings boast heights of 18 feet. The apartment includes all of the amenities for comfortable living. A spacious galley kitchen has an island and ample counter space. The apartment also includes a full bathroom. An elevated platform that features a Chickering grand piano and library crowns this open plan with dramatic avant guarde features.
The sunken living room is in full view of the kitchen and dining area. The apartment has been re-oriented with new windows that provide a panoramic view of the Monongahela River and the South Side hills. The southern re-orientation bathes the apartment in plenty natural light.
The building has 3 furnaces which allow for zoned area heating. The loft has central A/C. A side-yard allows for a one car park.
The sale of this property includes a 12,000 sq. foot (that’s right, twelve thousand) vacant lot directly across the street for approximately 25 parking spaces. The lot borders the Boulevard of the Allies, Seneca and Tustin Streets. The furnishings, the artwork and the Chickering grand piano (that was played by Andre Previn, Chick Corea and Nina Simone among others) are a bonus! Good luck finding these treasures included in another sale of an apartment in Pittsburgh!
This property is for the unconventional person who is a visionary individual with élan and who will contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the neighborhood. It’s also perfect for someone who wants to trade the rat race of bigger metropolitan cities for the a more provincial atmosphere of Pittsburgh.
