Rarely does an opportunity like this come to market in Pittsburgh's coveted Mexican War Streets. Situated on six contiguous lots totaling nearly a quarter acre, 1723 Buena Vista Street offers the extraordinary combination of a stately 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath brick Arts & Crafts residence, expansive private gardens, off street parking and exceptional future development potential. This urban oasis is surrounded by beautifully terraced gardens featuring mature peach, pear, cherry and apple trees, raspberry bushes, ornamental trees and established perennial plantings -- creating a true country manor setting in the heart of the city. A rare two-car off street parking area adds even greater convenience. Inside, the home showcases remarkable historic character and craftsmanship, including California Douglas fir hardwood floors, original woodwork throughout, pocket doors, built-ins, six fireplaces, and granite and limestone floored bathrooms. Multiple levels of living space provide exceptional flexibility for modern lifestyles, while a lower-level suite with its own entrance from the newly installed composite deck offers possibilities for guest accommodations, a home office or multi-generational living. An additional sub-basement level provides abundant storage and direct access to the gardens. Thoughtfully maintained and updated, the home features fresh paint, updated mechanical systems, newer siding, additional side window that floods the second-floor hallway with natural light, and a recently replaced Mansard roof backed by a transferable warranty. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and Samsung five burner gas range. Adding to the property's exceptional value, three 20'x100' lots lie outside the historic district and may be sold separately or developed into three individual townhouses with potential Downtown views, presenting a rare investment and development opportunity. Ideally located within walking distance of Commonplace Coffee, Monterey Pub, the Mattress Factory, Allegheny General Hospital, neighborhood parks, walking trails, and countless North Side amenities, this remarkable property offers the charm of a historic neighborhood with convenient access to every corner of the city. Whether you choose to preserve all six parcels as your own private urban retreat or capitalize on the property's unique development potential, 1723 Buena Vista Street delivers an unmatched combination of lifestyle, history, land and possibility.
