398 Union Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15205

Listing details for 398 Union Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15205 : **398 Union Ave — A 1930 Kit Home Full of Character** Step onto the porch, and you can feel it — the gentle breeze that always finds its way up here, the kind of spot where mornings start slow and evenings linger. This 1930 likely catalog kit home was built as part of the historic Thomas Ingram Farm (Mt. Pleasant Tract), and it still wears that history well: sturdy dimensional framing, honest room proportions, and a full-width covered porch anchored by tapered columns and gently arched beams. Tucked onto a private 0.7-acre lot, the home is backed by a wooded hillside for real privacy and a green backdrop without the extra yard work. At 1,200 sq ft, it's right-sized — easy to keep up, easy to make your own. A center-entry floor plan splits the home into two wings. One side offers a comfortable living room opening into a quiet flex space (office, den, or reading nook). The other holds a formal dining room flowing into the kitchen, with basement access. Thoughtfully updated and move-in ready: new kitchen appliances, rebuilt retaining wall, new 200-amp electrical panel with all-new wiring, new flooring throughout, refreshed bathroom, mini-split for the lower level, granite countertops, two custom thermal window inserts in the living room, and fresh paint with professionally cleaned carpets. A home with a real story — built nearly a century ago from a piece of Ingram Farm history — paired with the updates that let you move in and start living, not renovating.
