There’s a lot to discover at 4936 Harrison Street. Set on a corner in Central Lawrenceville, this detached brick home combines three finished levels with a second-floor lounge/bar, full-floor primary suite, rooftop deck, private courtyard, and detached two-car garage. Inside, exposed brick, original architectural elements, custom built-ins, wallpaper, millwork, and thoughtful storage give the home a personality that feels collected rather than conventional. The main level is open and connected while still giving the living, dining, and kitchen areas their own identity. A floor-to-ceiling living room window brings in abundant natural light, while exposed brick, a tray ceiling with tin ceiling insert, exposed ductwork, engineered hardwood floors, and custom built-ins and divider add texture and architectural interest. The original stairwell and railing introduce another piece of the home’s history. The dining area transitions naturally into the kitchen, where custom cabinetry, granite countertops, an eat-in island, original exposed ceiling joists, and an exposed brick doorway continue the mix of old and new. The adjoining butler’s pantry/mudroom provides an entire wall of additional cabinetry and granite-topped counter space. It is particularly useful when entertaining, with room to set up drinks, serving pieces, or a buffet away from the main kitchen. From here, there is direct access to the courtyard and garage. There also is a walk-in pantry with built-in shelving perfect for all types of storage (approximately 6’ X 3’10”). The second floor adds one of the home’s most unexpected spaces: a custom lounge/bar with built-in cabinetry and shelving, wine and beverage refrigerators, glass display shelving, exposed brick, tile, and wallpaper accents. Use it as it is, or adapt the space as a second living area or home office. Two spacious bedrooms are also on this level, each with engineered hardwood floors, tall ceilings, great natural light, and an exposed brick chimney, along with a full bath and conveniently located laundry. The entire third floor is dedicated to the primary suite, creating meaningful separation from the rest of the home. The oversized bedroom features engineered hardwood floors, a wall of closets, and a large walk-in dressing room with custom shelving (approximately 11’9”X 7’4”). The primary bath continues the scale with an oversized tiled walk-in shower, double vanity with a granite waterfall-edge countertop, and glass vessel sinks. Outdoor space is just as much a part of the house. The private fenced courtyard and spacious pea-gravel patio create an intimate setting for dining and entertaining at ground level, while the large rooftop deck provides a completely different outdoor experience above. A detached two-car garage adds another significant advantage for city living. Behind the design is a series of meaningful updates, including a Trane dual heat-pump system with natural gas furnace installed in 2024, heat-pump water heater from 2023, 2023 garage roof, added garage insulation, and custom copper box gutters. The location brings another dimension to the property. Central Lawrenceville is one of Pittsburgh’s most vibrant urban neighborhoods, with Butler Street’s restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, independent boutiques, fitness studios, parks, and local businesses close by. Neighborhood destinations include Parlor Dim Sum, Piccolo Forno, Pusadee’s Garden, Morcilla, Mediterra Café, The Abbey, Solera Wine Co., Lolev Beer, La Gourmandine, Arsenal Park, and the Lawrenceville Farmers Market. The location also makes it easy to connect with the broader city. UPMC Children’s Hospital, the Strip District, Downtown Pittsburgh, Bloomfield, East Liberty, and Pittsburgh’s major medical, university, and employment centers are all within convenient reach, while Lawrenceville itself offers the kind of dining, shopping, and neighborhood energy that has made it one of the city’s most popular destinations.
