Located on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, a neighborhood rich in the history of the once industrial legacy cradled around Chateau was once called “Allegheny City.” Today, a rapidly transitioning neighborhood development awaits the groundbreaking Esplanade Project along the Allegheny Riverfront, just a short jaunt away. The community is known for its historical homes with unique architectural features such as ornate brickwork, high ceilings, vestibule entryways, sweeping ornate staircases, rooms with pocket doors, and large windows with beautiful millwork surrounding them. The fireplaces are typically the focal point in the spaces with several chimneys, as these homes did not have modern mechanicals once upon a time. Today, most homes are beautifully modernized with updated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and energy-saving appliances showing their test of time and resiliency.

1420 N Franklin boasts approximately 3,100 sq ft of living space on three floors with Industrial farmhouse furniture, which harkens back to the neighborhood’s history. The part of the historic neighborhood's old-world charm begins at the home's entrance—a traditional tiled vestibule on the first floor. The living room features a beautiful stone fireplace, an ornately carved mantel, and soaring high ceilings with crown molding, which lead into a large dining room. Suited for a dozen dinner guests, the expansive room sits on maple and oak hardwood floors, another decorative fireplace, and boxed beam ceilings. The kitchen mixes new vs. antiqued, with a surrounding granite stone, a unique center island, two sinks, beautifully painted cabinets, and floating shelves —stainless steel appliances; dual ovens, a gas cooktop; and a hood range.

Traveling to the second floor hosts the living quarters for the primary ensuite and guest bedroom. A thoughtfully designed master, with a walk-in closet and soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The private terrace porch is perfect for your coffee in the morning or reading your book at night. Head up to the third floor you will find the laundry room and two more guest bedrooms. There is a fenced-in backyard for grilling and entertaining that is low maintenance.

Minutes to Downtown Pittsburgh, Rt. 65 and 20 minutes to PIA. Walk to the stadiums and Casino, the “T” and PAT Transit.
