Perched above a tree-lined street in Squirrel Hill, 6341 Burchfield Avenue is a classic Craftsman-style brick home built in 1920, pairing original character with a decade’s worth of thoughtful updates. A flight of front steps leads to the covered front porch, its ceiling freshly refinished, while a solid entry door with leaded glass welcomes you inside, where the original staircase rises just to the left.
Step into a living room anchored by a decorative fireplace mantle flanked by glass-front built-in bookcases. Vintage-style doorknobs and original window hardware carry throughout the home, small details that add up to real character. Ceiling fans in the living room, sunroom, and each of the three bedrooms add everyday comfort. To the right, a sunroom wrapped in windows on three sides sits just off the covered front porch, a perfect spot for an afternoon read. To the left, a generous dining room opens easily into the kitchen, where rich wood cabinetry, a peninsula counter, an oversized refrigerator, and stainless appliances offer a functional space for everyday cooking and gathering. A glass-paned door framed by windows leads directly out to the deck, making indoor-outdoor entertaining effortless. A second full bath is tucked conveniently off the kitchen, adding flexibility to the main level.
Outside, a flagstone walkway lines the side of the home, leading to a multi-level deck and a professionally landscaped, fully fenced backyard with room for gardening, entertaining, pets, and play, which all center around a tiered stone waterfall feature, thoughtfully re-plumbed by the current owner. A detached two-car garage, built of stone with a cedar shake gable, sits just off the brick alley.
Back inside, upstairs front-facing windows bring extra light into the primary bedroom, while two additional bedrooms overlook the backyard, all sharing a full hall bath. The unfinished basement houses the laundry and offers ample storage, with a classic Pittsburgh side-entry door at the landing, a detail longtime city dwellers will recognize and appreciate. A second refrigerator (this one brand new) in the basement remains with the home.
Recent improvements offer real peace of mind, including central air conditioning added in 2019, an upgraded electrical service panel in 2019, a replaced heating system in 2023, a replaced water service line, and a replaced sewer line. The chimney has also been rebuilt by the current owner.
Loved and cared for by the same family for nine years, 6341 Burchfield Avenue is ready for its next chapter. Frick Park and Schenley Park are both just a short distance away, and the Forbes and Murray Avenue corridor, with its restaurants, cafés, and everyday shops, is close by as well. Quick access to I-376 keeps downtown, area hospitals, universities, and the PA Turnpike within easy reach.
