About This Home
Now with new exterior stairs!! Born in the 1860s, 23 Seneca has lived many lives—a grocery store, brothel, architect’s studio, and music studio. Zoned Local Neighborhood Commercial (LNC), this mixed-use gem in Uptown is ideal for artists, entrepreneurs, an unforgettable Airbnb, or anyone craving a soulful live/work space. Lovingly reimagined by Allegheny County’s former chief architect, upstairs it features a sunken living room, lofted bedroom, main floor laundry, new bath, and views galore! On the ADA-accessible commercial level is plenty of space for an office, studio, gallery, or anything else you can dream up! Updated electric throughout, new furnace, and URA-funded structural stabilization. Outside, enjoy a vibrant block, warm neighbors, and a massive bronze knight standing guard. Right in the middle of the EcoInnovation District and walking distance to downtown, UPMC, Oakland, the Hill and the South Side! Bonus: it comes with a piano played by Nina Simone and other jazz greats!
