Listing description

Move-in ready and thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home on a classic tree-lined Squirrel Hill block offers the best of both worlds: a turnkey residence for an owner-occupant and a strong-fundamentals opportunity for an investor. Step inside to an open-concept main floor featuring refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a striking exposed-brick accent wall. The fully renovated kitchen impresses with soft-gray shaker cabinetry, subway-tile backsplash, quartz-style counters, and a stainless steel appliance suite — perfect for entertaining or everyday living. A fourth bedroom on the main level adds flexibility, ideal as a guest suite, home office, or extra rental income space. Upstairs, three additional generously sized bedrooms are filled with natural light and closet space, served by two beautifully updated full bathrooms with designer tile work. A private, fenced rear patio provides outdoor space rare for the area, while the basement offers laundry hookups and room to expand. Location is the standout: just a short trolley ride or bike from Penn, Drexel, and the heart of University City, with SEPTA access right around the corner — an unbeatable draw for renters and a commute-friendly base for anyone working or studying nearby. Whether you're searching for a stylish place to call home or adding a well-positioned, near-campus asset to your portfolio, 1244 S Markoe St delivers.
