[@glb360123]

Thank you for showing the ENTIRE home. Most old home tours do not show the basement and/or third-floor.

[@tarasa-hurley]

@@glb360123 thank you. Glad you enjoyed the tour.

[@happyinparis]

Love it ... especially the details. Looks like the doors have crystal doorknobs, too.

[@tarasa-hurley]

@@happyinparis I agree I loved those crystal knobs. I hope the new buyers keep them.

Fabulous kitchen, outdoor brick work, level exterior concrete, hardwood floors, a lot of antique door handles, nice! The obvious update is to the room where the Pittsburgh toilet would have been. Easy to Put back in a 2nd bathroom.

[@jillwiegand4257]

This is almost the same home as my grandma had in Michigan. The shared driveway would be a no go. Also, the public walkway off the dining room is a no go as well. Hard to mow this yard. Its a nice home and brings memories back for me with a few differences. ❤

I love this house

[@tarasa-hurley]

It is charming, isn’t it?

[@suzanneforasiepi3942]

Beautiful house 🏡😻

[@tarasa-hurley]

I agree :)

[@LoveyCee]

I love Tudors.

[@tarasa-hurley]

Me too! They definitely have a charm to them.

[@fjbanks9656]

Excellent videography and great presentation of the homes features! Could get a good feel of the home while you walked through the house....well done!!

[@JennaTellya70]

Whoa! That’s for sure the dungeon! (Lol you know which room I’m talking’ about!)

[@MariselaCantu-i6b]

Wow nice and thank u for tour From Breeley Colorado

[@tarasa-hurley]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RobinsTinyHomestead]

This house is very charming. My favorite style is Victorian and Colonial.

[@tarasa-hurley]

I’m a big fan of Victorians too. Every time I look at one I’m reminded of a Dolly Parton quote where she says “I can get away with less, but I like more.”. Victorian homes are definitely more.

[@RobinsTinyHomestead]

@@tarasa-hurley I totally agree, take care.

[@kimcat7320]

I love Victorian homes.

[@kimcat7320]

I love this house. No bathroom on the first floor is a problem for me. And sharing a garage is very strange in my neck of the woods. Other than that it is perfect.

[@tarasa-hurley]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tackcolin6645]

Sharing a garage and possibly a driveway is a killer! All you need is the neighbor from hell to move in and make your life miserable!! Even tho the one now seems nice

[@kimcat7320]

@@tackcolin6645 I agree.

[@pennymcleod3877]

How about the price

[@tarasa-hurley]

Unfortunately it already sold. It was listed at $249,999 and ultimately sold for $254,700.

[@kevinschifino1064]

Tarasa you mention the brick. It is commonly called clinker brick. This kind of brick was often used in the 1920s on English cottages and Tudor style houses.

[@tarasa-hurley]

Clinker Brick? Thank you! I love that and will add it to future tours of this style of home.

[@Duke_of_Prunes]

I looked up your term "clinker brick" and found an interesting article. I have always wondered why you see so many black-brown buildings in the UK, and now I know.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Nice charming house. I would add a second bathroom if that were doable.

[@bernadinetinker3028]

Half bath in the basement.

[@maxineyohe5997]

Nice

[@j.peluso2139]

And tell us the price.

[@marcinasia1731]

that attic would be perfect for cousin it !!! (adams family )

[@JennaTellya70]

I just subscribed, yea!!! I guess I forgot to earlier, my bad.

[@davidelee8980]

Nice craftsman’s style bungalow, to bad there’s only one bathroom, even a half bath somewhere on the first floor would help, hardwood floors are in need of refinishing and the yard and shrubs are overgrown and the traffic noise outside is deafening, must be a major highway nearby, too bad.

[@tarasa-hurley]

There is a bigger road nearby, but that also means that you’re very close to Regent Square shopping, which is awesome.

[@kevinschifino1064]

A bathroom could be added in the master bedroom where the dressing room is now. It could be a 3/4 bath consisting of lavatory, toilet, and shower. Easily done because the plumbing is stacked in this house (kitchen directly below and second floor bathroom shares a wall with the dressing room).

[@janc8199]

Sharing a garage? Nah

[@RobertA-jp8lh]

No `bathroom first floor? Ok. OMG. YOU PEOPLE stop

[@suzanneforasiepi3942]

You should get your real estate license in Texas you would make a lot of money

[@dianedorney5147]

Backyard not so great

[@dianedorney5147]

LOL those closet are typical of these homes...brown baseboards don't show very nice

[@Noname-v2w5w]

The painted woodwork.☹️

[@lnelson90004]

A professional realtor should always start out with the two most important items. #1) When was the property built? #2) What is the square footage of the house and size of the lot? Why is this key information always over looked? Is it because they don't know it or feel it is not important. Very frustrating for a serious buyer's searching for a house. Louis Nelson | Los Angeles CA.

[@tarasa-hurley]

@@lnelson90004 all the fact and details are in the linked property description. Square footage is an estimate because this county does not maintain accurate square footages.

[@Buconoir]

Mr. Nelson, are you licensed to practice in PA? I don't remember there being reciprocity between PA and CA since I left the industry. Please remember that markets differ, and what you say is an important item may not be so important to people in this market. Always? Well, if that is the case, maybe it's you that's having the issue since you always notice this. Now, I'm not disagreeing with you: I would prefer to know this information, but did you know that in the Pittsburgh market, square footage isn't required in listing information? Yup, it's strange, but this isn't your market. Please refrain from showing your unbridled elitism. She did a good job here.

[@Buconoir]

Oh, one last thing. As to the age of properties, this is Pennsylvania, one of the original colonies. We take pride in being the Keystone State, lol. There are properties here that predate the founding of your state. In fact, not far UP the Monongahela river, the boats used in the Lewis and Clarke expedition were built. The age of improvements on properties here is not always available.
