    What's special

    Sturdy brick columnsOff-street parkingCovered front porchThree bedroomsWindow seat
    Welcome to 4052 Franklin Rd, a classic 1925 brick two-story in the heart of Observatory Hill, offered at $130,000. The covered front porch sets the tone, with sturdy brick columns and a place to watch the neighborhood wake up. Inside, the 1,580 square feet hold details newer homes rarely have: a fireplace anchoring the living room, an original wooden staircase at the entry, and a formal dining room with dark wood beams, a chandelier, and a window seat. Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths give you room to spread out. The kitchen is ready for your own updates. A full basement adds storage and flexibility, and the rear yard on nearly 0.35 acres offers room to play, garden, or simply unwind. Off-street parking is a real convenience. You’ll never have to fight for a spot. Getting on the highway is a short trip from your door, and I-279 puts downtown within a quick drive, so the daily commute stays easy. Served by Pittsburgh Public Schools. A new roof is on the way, which takes a major project off the list for the next owner. That makes this a wonderful opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or anyone who wants classic Pittsburgh charm at an accessible price. Schedule your showing today.
