Casa A Schiera A Shadyside

What if your commute to work or campus was measured in minutes, not miles?

Tucked along a tree-lined block in West Shadyside, 4715 Bayard Street offers a rare combination: the space and privacy of a home with the ease of townhouse living in one of Pittsburgh’s most connected locations. For physicians, university faculty and professionals whose days revolve around nearby hospitals and campuses, the convenience is hard to resist. Pitt, Carnegie Mellon and UPMC are minutes away. So are the museums, parks and restaurants that make the rest of life easy too.

Inside, the house is built around any given day, the busy ones and leisurely days. The spacious living room with a fireplace and a door straight out to a private, fenced-in patio is prime for those long days at work. A separate dining room and eat-in-kitchen accommodates all the in-between moments: the quick breakfast before an early meeting and dinner that runs late because the day kept going. There’s a powder room on the entry level and a bonus room for a gym or extra storage, right off of the laundry area.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own bath, separate from the rest of the house. The extra rooms are where the flexibility shows. One makes an easy bedroom for your out of town guests, or family visiting for the weekend. The smaller third bedroom asks almost nothing of you: open a laptop and it’s an office, put in a desk and it’s a study, or quietly close the door and it’s a nursery.

The integral garage and driveway parking means space for two cars and one less thing to think about when it comes to city living. 4715 Bayard keeps the commute short and leaves the rest of your life with plenty of room to breathe.
