115-year-old home in Lawrenceville on the market for $800K

Historic charm meets modern luxury is how Racheallee Lacek describes a home built in 1910 in the heart of Lawrenceville.

The single-family residence at 4232 Sherrod Street is on the market for $799,000. The two-story brick Colonial is located near UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and not far from major universities and the many restaurants, shops and other amenities along Butler Street in the neighborhood.

“I love that it is both traditional and modernized,” said Lacek, global real estate advisor for Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty. “It has the expectation of a luxury home.”

One of the positives, Lacek said, is that it sits on a corner lot. The home has four spacious bedrooms and the three-and-a-half bathrooms have been updated. One of those bedrooms could be transformed into a walk-in closet or work-from-home office space, Lacek said.

The bathrooms have been updated.

There is a double-entry into the home. For city living, it has a private outdoor courtyard with green space designed to be low maintenance, which is so versatile, Lacek said. Two off-street parking spaces and the fact that it is equipped with an electric vehicle charging station are benefits, she added.

The kitchen has a large center island in this home in Lawrenceville.

The house encompasses 2,820 square feet and features an open-floor plan with high ceilings and plenty of natural light. Hardwood floors throughout, exposed brick accents and custom woodwork give it a cool and fresh look, Lacek said. The updated kitchen is large with a center island.

“This house is perfect for entertaining,” Lacek said. “There is so much room.”
