Real Estate Monday: Central North Shore- 2 for 1

Are you finding that investors are getting more creative with their flips? I am, and it makes me happy. I'm actually contemplating working with one, and if so, you can be sure I'll lobby for some unique features. Here are two homes- one of which isn't necessarily a flip- but both fairly creative, fitting in perfectly with the eclectic area that surrounds them.
915 Peralta St. Pittsburgh, Pa 15212 for $245,000.
It's got three bedrooms and two and a half baths. I love all the exposed brick, the open kitchen floor plan, and the different wood tones throughout the house. Take a look:










Now for a super- kitschy house in the same area...
607 Middle Street listed at $250,000- 2bed/1bath
It's more of an artsy, loft-style house, with an open master bedroom occupying the second floor. The third floor has this barn-like ladder to access it, and these neat pull out bins. It'd be awesome for a young teen, I'm sure. All the details in the house have been well thought out. It definitely caters towards my need to be more minimalist.
















 Which one would you pick?

Real Estate Wednesday: Polish Hill

I know it's supposed to be Real Estate Monday, but today's Wednesday and this cool house just popped on the market this morning- so we're going with it.
I love me a good renovation, and I love a good deal. $240,000 seems pretty inexpensive to me to get a fully renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house.
3602 Bethoven Polish Hill 
 Slightly unassuming on the outside...
 ...but super open and bright on the inside. 

 I love all the light flooding into the kitchen.

 This feels like some chic, New York hotel bathroom. 
I'm not sure if these bedrooms have doors, but still pretty awesome.  

 ...and I'm always a sucker for exposed beams. 
Most modern renovations feel cold to me, but this house feels warm and inviting, doesn't it? 

*While I'm not the listing agent for any of the houses I display on my Real Estate Monday/Wednesday posts, I'm happy to show this house or any house you may be looking at. Please don't hesitate to call or email me.
