5444 Bartlett St, Squirrel Hill, PA 15217

Description

Classic Squirrel Hill character, beautifully scaled rooms and an extraordinary setting just steps from Schenley Park come together at 5444 Bartlett Street. Behind its timeless brick façade and expansive covered front porch, this three-story home unfolds with the warmth and architectural character of its 1930 origins, along with an exceptional amount of space and flexibility. Inside, hardwood floors, high ceilings and generous windows set the tone. Wide openings create an easy connection between spaces while allowing each room to retain its own character. The living room is anchored by a striking marble decorative fireplace, while the spacious dining room offers plenty of room for both everyday gatherings and larger occasions. A distinctive glass-block window adds architectural interest near the staircase, with a powder room and large coat closet thoughtfully tucked nearby. The kitchen offers an impressive amount of cabinetry and storage, updated stainless steel appliances, and a separate eat-in area with additional built-ins and open shelving. A back door creates an easy connection to the outdoors, where the patio was expanded in 2025 to create even more room for dining, entertaining or play. Beyond it, the fenced backyard provides a nicely sized lawn, a large storage shed and a long driveway with ample off-street parking. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms occupy the second floor, including a spacious primary suite with its own private bath, along with a second full bathroom. The third floor adds another level of versatility, with an expansive fourth bedroom currently used as a family and play room, a fifth bedroom well suited for an office, guest room or additional bedroom, and another full bath with a clawfoot tub. It is the kind of flexible space that can easily evolve over time. Thoughtful improvements in recent years include a new air-conditioning system in 2025, newer gutters and downspouts, new storm doors, and a new roof over the rear patio and breakfast nook—updates that complement the home's enduring character. And then there is the location. Bartlett Street ends at Schenley Park, placing one of Pittsburgh’s most treasured green spaces practically at your doorstep. Walking and biking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, the Bob O’Connor Golf Course, Schenley Park Pool, playgrounds and acres of open space are all within easy reach, with Phipps Conservatory and Carnegie Mellon University just beyond. Squirrel Hill’s shops, restaurants and everyday conveniences are also just minutes away. With Schenley Park at the end of the street and so much of Squirrel Hill and Oakland within easy reach, 5444 Bartlett offers a rare combination of character, space and a location that is difficult to replicate.
