About this home

Restore a 1900 Italianate Victorian in Historic New Brighton, PA! Some homes are bought. Others are waiting to be rescued. 1324 3rd Avenue is a 1900 Victorian that has been carefully prepared for someone with the vision to return it to its full glory. The home is in the Italianate style, which drew on the villas of the Tuscan countryside and became a favorite of prosperous families in the river towns of western Pennsylvania. Its strong vertical lines, bracketed cornices under deep eaves, and tall, narrow windows carry the elegance of another era. The house sits on a stone foundation that has held it for more than 120 years. Inside are soaring ceilings with their ornate original plaster moldings still intact, protected during the renovation work. The house also has six original fireplaces, two of them double-sided. Its original millwork and period details were removed by hand and saved for reinstallation. The hardest part, the patient and careful preparation, is done. Now you can add modern systems, design kitchens and baths for today's living, and bring the home's character back where it belongs. This is not a flip. It's a true restoration opportunity. The home offers three bedrooms, about 2,663 square feet, and a 0.17-acre lot in New Brighton. The town was founded on the Beaver River in 1838, has a proud Underground Railroad history, and sits just 25 miles from Pittsburgh. They don't build them like this anymore. Bring your tools, your imagination, and your respect for history, and give this grand lady the second life she deserves.
