Tucked at the end of a quiet dead-end street in one of Pittsburgh's most-loved walking neighborhoods, 228 Sylvan Walk is the kind of home you don't stumble across often — a fully renovated 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath charmer with over $140,000 in upgrades, inside and out.
Step onto the covered front porch and into a sun-filled main level with an open living and dining flow that spills into a stunning brand-new kitchen. Think crisp cabinetry, warm butcher block countertops, stainless appliances, and enough storage to make cooking here feel effortless. Fresh paint and updated flooring run throughout.
Head upstairs to two generously sized bedrooms — including a primary with a walk-in closet — plus a full bath with tub/shower combo. The top floor holds two additional bedrooms, freshly painted with new light fixtures, offering perfect flexibility for kids, guests, or a home office.
Outside is where this home really gets special. A large tiered backyard with partial fencing, a newer oversized shed, and a spacious back porch make this a rare urban retreat. Add a 2-car attached garage with an updated opener, additional off-street parking, and unfinished basement storage — and you have a home that truly checks every box.
Recent upgrades include new siding, gutters, exterior work, and interior cosmetic refresh — every major system and surface has been touched, so you can move in and simply enjoy.
Homes like this in Ben Avon don't last. Come see it before someone else calls it home. ?
