About This Home

In the heart of Shadyside, 215 Emerson Street pairs historic detail with rare functionality. This four-bed, three-and-a-half-bath Victorian surprises with spacious closets, open-concept living, and modern updates throughout. Original fireplaces, balustrades, and trim add character, while the hardwood-lined living and dining rooms lead to a convenient powder room. A smartly updated kitchen boasts stone counters, a walk-in pantry, and rear courtyard access. Upstairs, the primary suite stuns with a walk-in closet wrapped in built-ins and a luxe ensuite bath. A guest bedroom, full hall bath, and laundry closet round out the second floor. The top level hosts two additional private bedrooms beneath decorative statment ceilings and a third full hall bath. Out back, a low-maintenance paved courtyard with a built-in fire pit and tiered planters adds the perfect finishing touch. All just steps from Shadyside’s best shops and dining.
