171 S 15th St

Converted from a late 19th-century Polish parochial school, this low-rise masonry building preserves historic character while functioning as a small condominium community. Built in 1898, it offers predominantly two-bedroom loft units arranged across several floors with some duplex/loft configurations and semi-private entry options. Architecturally the building retains original trim, tall arched and oversized windows, high ceilings and other period details adapted into contemporary residences. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, open floor plans, exposed structural elements, upgraded kitchens with stainless appliances and islands, in-unit laundry, and occasional gas fireplaces and lofted bedroom areas accessed by spiral staircases. Common areas include a notable lobby, a private fenced courtyard, and shared resident spaces; building maintenance covers water, sewage, trash, exterior upkeep and master insurance. Exterior amenities emphasize an assigned parking space in a private lot with guest parking; pet-friendly policies accommodate animals. The location in Pittsburgh’s South Side places the property two to three blocks from East Carson Street’s restaurants, bars and shops, within easy walking or biking distance of riverfront trails, Downtown and nearby universities, supporting a pedestrian-oriented urban lifestyle.
