Property Description

Step into your future Home Sweet Home. This charming all-brick Cape Cod sits on a corner lot in New Kensington's Mount Vernon neighborhood and brings together craftsmanship, character, and care that simply isn't being built anymore. Start with the roof — a stunning original slate tile roof, a generational feature that delivers timeless curb appeal and decades of life ahead. Pair that with full-brick masonry construction, original arched doorways, and crown molding throughout, and you have a home that was built to last. The meticulously landscaped front yard with mature Japanese maple, river stone beds, and rustic stone accents sets the tone the moment you pull in. Inside, professionally refinished hardwood floors gleam throughout the entire home — every room, every hallway, main floor and upstairs both. The sun-filled main floor flows beautifully from room to room. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with original carved wood mantel and opens through period arched doorways to a separate dining room with crown molding and chandelier. A breakfast-bar pass-through connects the kitchen, which is bright, white, and well-equipped with a full stainless appliance package — French-door refrigerator, Maytag range, microwave, and dishwasher all included. Upstairs you will find two generously sized bedrooms with original hardwoods, dormer windows, ceiling fans, and built-in storage nooks — both feel like proper rooms, not afterthoughts. The full bath is clean, bright, and ready to use. Step outside through the dining room to a covered wood deck that wraps around the side and entire back of the home — a generous L-shaped entertaining space with a retractable awning, string lights, and river valley views beyond. Below, the flat, fully-fenced, private backyard features mature evergreen hedging, established landscaping, and one of the deepest lots on the street — room for gardening, games, dogs, kids, summer cookouts, and anything else you can dream up. The full unfinished basement is bright, dry, and full of untapped potential — ready to become finished living space, a home gym, workshop, or theater, with painted floors and walls, a laundry area with utility sink, and glass block windows throughout. A separate walk-up bonus room above the garage offers even more storage or hobby space. Updates include a brand new poured concrete garage floor, high-efficiency Goodman gas furnace, central air conditioning, Filtrete Ultra Allergen filtration, updated electrical panel, fresh neutral paint throughout, and an attached 1-car garage with opener. Location could not be better — Mount Vernon is a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood just minutes from downtown New Kensington's booming Fifth Avenue corridor, home to Voodoo Brewing, Tortured Souls Brewing, Common Oven Pizza, Knead Community Cafe, Preserving Record Shop, Las Hachas axe throwing, and the wildly popular Fridays on Fifth event series. The historic downtown district is on the National Register of Historic Places. Easy commute to Pittsburgh via Route 28, close to the Allegheny River trail system, and part of the New Kensington-Arnold School District. A slate roof. Full brick. Hardwoods throughout. A wood-burning fireplace. A wrap-around deck. A deep private lot. A basement full of upside. River valley views from the back. This home has been meticulously maintained and lovingly cared for.
