Property Description

Where timeless character, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional location come together. Welcome to 2488 Mount Royal Road, a distinctive Squirrel Hill residence offering the space, flexibility, and functionality today's homebuyer is looking for—plus the rare advantage of being directly connected to Frick Park. Located on a quiet stretch of Mount Royal Road, this home puts nature and Pittsburgh's most beloved trails in your backyard. The versatile two-level layout is designed for everyday living and entertaining. Originally configured as a four-bedroom home, the dividing wall between two bedrooms was removed to create an expansive primary suite. The result is a generous three-bedroom layout with the potential to restore the fourth bedroom, offering flexibility for a growing household, nursery, or guest space.

The lower level adds versatility with a spacious bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms. You will find a living room/den that can serve as a family retreat, guest level, home office, or entertaining space. It also includes a laundry room with washer and dryer, plus a dedicated pet wash station—perfect for dog owners and anyone enjoying nearby Frick Park trails. This level also provides access to the spacious two-car garage with room for storage. Upstairs is the control for the built-in whole-house humidifier, providing added year-round comfort. The two bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, offer privacy and convenience for family and guests. Each room has ample closet space. The main bedroom was once two bedrooms but with the dividing wall removed this bedroom has space for all the bedroom furniture you desire. Down the hallway is access to the finished, spacious attic, waiting to become a functional space. The kitchen and dining room provide an easy flow for meals and entertaining, while the expansive living room is filled with natural light and showcases the home's character. The kitchen features all-new, never-used appliances, lots of cupboard space, and a kitchen island making cooking a breeze. The spacious dining room flows from the kitchen through swinging doors and opens toward the side porch. With a built-in bookshelf and fireplace, the expansive living room is ready for game night, movie night, or cozy evenings by the fire. Throughout the home, rich wood trim and doors, ornamental glass, detailed millwork, elegant custom lighting, and generous windows create a warm blend of craftsmanship and timeless character.

Direct access from the kitchen leads to the back patio, perfect for outdoor hosting of family and friends. The level, fenced-in backyard offers room for recreation, pets, gardening, gatherings, and relaxing evenings at home. A charming side porch off of the dining room, and multiple exterior access points further connect the home to its surroundings. And then there is the location. Climb the backyard steps, open the gate, and step directly onto the trails of Frick Park. Whether it's a morning dog walk, afternoon hike, weekend run, or simply enjoying one of Pittsburgh's treasured green spaces, this connection makes outdoor recreation exceptionally convenient. The property has benefited from numerous improvements, including major mechanical and exterior updates, drainage and grading improvements, new fencing, and a backyard patio. With approximately 2,130 square feet of living space, a 9,135-square-foot lot, an attached two-car garage, off-street parking, a finished attic, flexible living areas, and direct access to Frick Park, 2488 Mount Royal Road offers a rare combination of space, character, convenience, and lifestyle. Situated in Squirrel Hill, one of Pittsburgh's most established and desirable neighborhoods, the home provides easy access to parks, trails, shopping, dining, universities, cultural destinations, and the many amenities that make the East End so sought after. A home with character. A layout built for flexibility. A backyard that opens to Frick Park.
