Away from the noise, and near what you need, this Neville Island home offers quick, easy access to the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center, posh Sewickley, and the airport.
The house sits on a large riverfront lot, allowing you to enjoy the placid scene of the Ohio River from the large deck or backyard.
Our design emphasizes both style and function. While we want you feel like you're someplace special, you should still find all the comforts of home - children and pets are welcome!
This home has two floors. The ground level includes two large bedrooms on opposing sides of the house, with a full bathroom in between. The washer and dryer are in the hallway to the bathroom.
Upon entering the house, when you look to the right, you'll find one bedroom has been set up for youngsters. There is a TV lounge area, and a table for board games, activities, or eating. This room also has a bunk bed with two full-size mattresses (in case you need extra space for 1 or 2 adult couples).
Across the hall is a similarly sized bedroom with a queen bed and a crib.
The second floor is the house's primary gathering space - a fully-equipped kitchen (featuring an expansive coffee station), dining room (seating for 8-10 + 1 high chair), and a bright and airy living room with a whole wall of windows overlooking the Ohio River and the backyard. The living room also includes an electric fireplace.
There are 2 additional bedrooms on this floor, and another full bathroom with a tub. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other has a king bed and a dedicated workspace.
Outside: there are two sliding doors in the living room that open to a very spacious (runs the width of the house) deck. This deck includes two gas fire pits, an outdoor dining table (for 4), two love seats, and two Adirondack chairs. There are stairs down to the backyard.
