Real Estate Monday: Stanton Heights

Well since I gave you a real fixer-up from the South Side last week, I decided to go for a completely staged and move-in ready home for practically the same price. It's amazing what location can do. Stanton Heights is a "newer" neighborhood by Pittsburgh terms. Surrounded by neighborhoods like Lawrenceville, Morningside, East Liberty and Garfield, you have to admit it has a pretty central location. Before the 50's, most of this area was part of the Stanton Heights Golf Course. Now it's a quiet, suburb-like neighborhood with little traffic, yet super close to the city and all the action. Side note: did you see the clip on the Today show this morning about "Little Upgrades Big Results"? They showed you inexpensive things you can to do to get a huge return on your dollar. This house is a good example of that. My only wish is for pictures with a little better clarity because I want to see all the cuteness in more detail! 
Here's 1332 Hawthorne St, Pittsburgh, PA 15201

It's listed for $183,900.
One of the higher prices in the neighborhood, but also one of the most well-done and updated.
Doesn't it have nice curb-appeal? 

Can we talk about this room for a second? I'm obsessed with the look they have going. From the display of milk glass type pottery on top of a beautiful, understated built-in, to the mid century modern hair pin leg table, to the modern/classic white drum shade pendant. I just love it all, and I think they did an excellent job of mixing styles here. 

Again, very nice decor and good use of the space. 

There are 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in this house. Sounds good to me. I'll take this one. 

And an adorable, little yard with just the right amount of grass. Plus a double car garage= huge bonus. 

What do you think? Any Stanton Heights people want to weigh in on the neighborhood? Until next week, happy Real Estate Monday.
