Fully renovated and fully furnished, this 6-unit building (all 1BR/1BA) is an exceptional, hands-off income property situated in Pittsburgh’s most vibrant neighborhood. Currently operating as a highly successful short-term rental with professional property management in place, the property caters perfectly to tourists, tech professionals, and traveling medical staff visiting nearby UPMC Children's Hospital. Each unit is individually metered for gas, electric, and water, and comes equipped with its own dedicated HVAC and hot water tank—making a transition to long-term rentals incredibly easy and low-cost for the landlord. More than 50% of the systems have been replaced in the past 3 years. All six units have been beautifully updated with modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Being sold fully furnished and outfitted for immediate STR use. The lower level features common laundry facilities and additional storage. The property also includes one highly coveted off-street parking space. Two of the units feature dedicated, direct street-level entrances (offering incredible potential for commercial/retail conversion under the LNC zoning), while also retaining access via the central main stairwell. Whether you are looking for a high-performing, turnkey addition to your portfolio or an owner-occupied house-hack in an unbeatable walkable location, this property is ready for you.
Lower Lawrenceville, located between the Allegheny River and Butler Street, is a historic and industrial Pittsburgh neighborhood with brick rowhouses and riverfront warehouses. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Butler Street at 40th Street, where coffee counters, small galleries, and chef-driven dining sit under old painted signs and string lights. Community pillars include Arsenal Cider House & Wine Cellar, Row House Cinema, and the New Amsterdam. Side streets read as tight-grained blocks of late-1800s facades, while former factories frame newer studios and shops. The river edge and the 40th Street Bridge set a working-waterfront backdrop. A walkable grid keeps daily errands and nights out on the same few blocks.
