Hi Neighbors, It's not too late! After a quiet a restful fall/winter we are again preparing our house for sale and aren't quite ready to list it yet, but we wanted to give HPers first dibs again. We listed it briefly in August of last year but decided to wait and give our kids one more school year here in Pittsburgh. We will be listing it with a realtor in March but if we find someone before then we'd be happy to work out a 'sale by owner'. We live in Mellon's Orchard neighborhood between East Liberty and Highland park at 5707 Rippey St. Our home is new construction, 2700 square feet (not including the basement), custom built in 2005. It has 5/6 roomy bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a large basement with 8' ceilings,Superior walls (water-tight and insulated) basement. We have 1 space of off street parking in back, a large, level, and fully fenced backyard (great for dogs and/or kids), a big deck and brick patio, plenty of trees and a landscaped front yard with privacy. The home has many large windows with excellent natural light. The first floor has an open floor plan with a first floor laundry and laundry chute, big kitchen with an island. The dining room has a window seat and a media center.The living room has built in bookcases and a roomy window seat with storage. We installed a high efficiency wood burning stove last winter and our heating bills were greatly reduced. The house has central air and is zoned for two high efficiency furnaces. The third floor has vaulted 12' ceilings, a full bath, glass-pane french doors, lots of storage, and three skylights. This house is on a FANTASTIC block with great long term neighbors and is a great house for families. We are a block away from the East LibertyFarmer's Market, the buslines, and all that's hopping in East Liberty. The friends and neighbors price is $400,000. If you know anyone who might be interested have them call us for more details. Nicole and Mike Carlin carlin5707@gmail.com
