About this property

Urban Retreat with Garage on Mt. Washington

Centrally located on Mount Washington with easy access to all of Pittsburgh. Walk to restaurants & bars on Shiloh Street, a grocery store, and the Grandview Overlooks. Just steps from the Incline which connects to a trolley to downtown, the North Shore, stadiums, and casino. A perfect home base for exploring the city and seeing some of Pittsburgh's most popular attractions.

Inside the Home
Enter the front door, and walk into an open floor plan featuring a cozy living area with two large couches and a 65" wall-mounted TV. Soaring 9’ ceilings make the space feel even bigger. Dine at a table for four, set beneath an arc lamp and next to a window overlooking the side yard. The fully stocked modern kitchen includes everything you need to cook, plus a drip coffee maker with complimentary grounds.

Step out onto the back deck with two zero-gravity chairs, which are perfect for relaxing. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious full bathroom with double sinks. You can access the bathroom from the main hallway or directly from the large king bedroom, which includes two long closets, a ceiling fan, and a luxurious bed.

The third floor has a bright, airy bedroom with two twin beds, skylight, ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet. The garage-level basement includes a new washer and dryer and offers another way to enter the home through the garage.

Great location at top of the Monongahela Incline on Mt Washington. Clean and spacious but only 1 bathroom on 2nd floor. Was perfect for us as a couple but sharing may be issue for others. Plenty of parking and garage access. Nice deck. Great bars and breakfast places 5-minute walk. Prerfect place for a weekend in Pittsburgh.

We stayed for the Easter Weekend with our daughter and our two dogs. My daughter enjoyed the third floor bedroom layout. The place was well located to downtown Pittsburgh. It was a short 10-15 minute drive into town. The parking was definitely a bonus.

Hi Meighan, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and that everything was perfect, except the width of the Mt Washington roads. If there is anything we can do to make the place a 5 instead of 4, please let us know. Thanks and best wishes to you.

Easy to find, easy to park, easy to enter. Big, Big house for it being a Townhouse (1 shared wall). As advertised, we liked it. Thoughtful things like having some USB/C outlets. Decor is a little dated but this would be a great “base of operations” for visiting families or workers. Not one but 2 grocery stores only one block in each direction. Great family owned old school pizza place about 200’ away.

About the host

Hosted by Adam Polinak

Host profile image
Pittsburgh native, owner of The Gaskell Retreat located on Mt Washington. I love the neighborhood so much and its access to everything Pittsburgh, so I also call Mt. Washington home with my own place a stone's throw away. I enjoy being a host and renting from other hosts, too.

Why they chose this property

This townhome is the ultimate location for Pittsburgh visitors, in a vibrant neighborhood with everything close by, and not to mention a few-minutes-walk from the most famous overlook views of downtown and the Pittsburgh Inclines.

What makes this property unique

You will not need a car to travel almost anywhere within the downtown area (with the incline leading to a trolley station at the bottom). The townhome also has a garage and off-street parking to keep your vehicle(s) well-kept.
