About 270 Charles Ave

Welcome home to this beautifully renovated 3-bed, 1.5-bath Cape Cod in New Kensington. Step inside to an interior brimming with character from its gorgeously refinished hardwood floors to its stately wooden staircase, wood trim, and brick fireplace. This house makes a statement. Tons of natural light floods your main living space. Off the living room, French doors open onto the dining room, which in turn, flows into the eat-in kitchen at the rear. The kitchen features Shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Also on this floor, you have a half bath that has been tastefully updated. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes private access to a finished attic room. The other two BRs continue to enjoy the vintage touches of the rest of the home, and all three bedrooms share a sun-filled full bathroom with new fixtures and tiled tub surround. Outside, the fenced-in yard encloses an in-ground pool that has been winterized and covered. Set up a showing today!
