Overview

Built in the 1920s, this brick triplex is configured with three separate apartments: one 3-bedroom unit and two 2-bedroom units. Two of the apartments feature refreshed kitchens and bathrooms. One updated 2-bedroom unit includes a wood-paneled bedroom. The second-floor owner’s unit has an updated kitchen and bathroom and includes LVP flooring, supporting a move-in-ready living option.

Located in Avalon, the property is described as convenient to shopping, restaurants, parks, and major roadways, with easy access to Downtown Pittsburgh. The lot size is listed at 0.1808 acres.

This setup can suit investors seeking a multi-unit rental property or an owner-occupant who prefers to live in one unit while renting the others. The presence of updated kitchens and bathrooms in two units may help reduce near-term interior work, while the additional 3-bedroom unit is presented as offering value-add opportunity. The remarks also note that one unit was previously approved for Section 8 housing, and that current and long-term tenant occupancy has been in place for multiple years.
