Located on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, a neighborhood heavily rooted in the culture of the once industrial revolution and cradled around Chateau, your farthest neighbor was called “Allegheny City”. Today, a rapidly transitioning neighborhood as 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 HVAC at one time. Today, most homes are beautifully modernized with updated lighting, plumbing, HVAC, and energy-saving appliances standing their test of time and resiliency. 1005 N Franklin boasts approx—2,100 sq ft of living space on three floors of living with a modern shabby chic design. The part of the historic neighborhood's old-world charm begins at the home's entrance—a traditional tiled vestibule with hardwood floors throughout. The living room features a seating area with a decorative mantel and tiled fireplace. Head back towards the open concept and eat-in kitchen/dining room with granite surface stone, a central island, and beautiful painted cabinets. Stainless steel appliances, gas hood range with tiled backsplash. Traveling to the 2nd-floor living space, you find the laundry room and two guest suites sharing the jack and jill bath. Head up to the 3rd floor you will find the Primary Ensuite fully designed with a wrap-around floorplan. There is a fenced-in backyard for grilling and entertaining that is low maintenance.
