About This Home
Timeless 1920 Avalon Victorian with Modern Updates
Set in Avalon, this circa-1920 Victorian retains its original three-story character across a thoughtful layout. The main level offers an easy flow between the generously sized living and dining rooms, opening to a fully updated kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances.
The second floor holds the master bedroom with a private bath featuring a jet spray tub, a second bedroom with good natural light, and a flexible third room perfect for an office or guest space. The third-floor attic serves as a fourth bedroom with its own full bathroom. A welcoming front porch and private back deck extend the living space outdoors.
Mechanically well equipped, the home features two heating and cooling systems, a gas water heater, and 200-amp electrical service, with major systems installed in 2022. The unfinished walk-up basement offers storage and future potential, while a concrete parking pad provides off-street parking for two vehicles.

Property Details
Location
Living in Avalon
Avalon is a compact, walkable borough along the Ohio River about 6 miles northwest of Downtown Pittsburgh. Part of the established inner-ring 'North Boroughs', it offers tidy streets, classic early-1900s homes and a riverside setting with an easy commute.
Schools & Education
Avalon is served by the Northgate School District, which it shares with neighboring Bellevue — a small district with an elementary school in Avalon and Northgate Junior–Senior High School.
Healthcare & Shopping
California Avenue carries local shops and eateries, with the Bellevue business district, groceries and healthcare minutes away and Downtown a short drive or bus ride down the river.
Dining, Parks & Attractions
Residents enjoy riverfront access, nearby parks, and quick reach to the shops, dining and walkable feel of Bellevue and Ben Avon.
Investment Outlook
Avalon's mix of modest prices, a defined school district and an inner-ring location has kept demand steady, making it popular with first-time buyers and small investors. As always, older homes vary in condition — inspect carefully, check the block, and work with an agent who knows the North Boroughs.
