A charming brick cape cod in the heart of Brentwood, 4384 Colonial Park Drive is the kind of home that keeps its original soul while giving you the updates that matter. Step inside to gleaming original hardwood floors that carry through the main living spaces, and a living room anchored by a beautiful decorative stone fireplace, flanked by original stained glass windows in amazing shape that throw color and light across the room. Off the living room, the great covered side porch — brick walls, a ceiling fan, and treetop views — stretches your living space outdoors for most of the year. The formal dining room, lit by a chandelier and a wall of stained glass, is made for hosting — and the light up here is something else, pouring in from every direction. The updated kitchen pairs custom wood cabinets with stainless steel appliances, including a brand-new refrigerator, and a tile floor that keeps it bright and easy to care for. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms sit under the cape's classic rooflines, with hardwood floors, ceiling fans, arched doorways, and the same beautiful light, plus a classic full bath with its original pink tile — a period detail that's pure 1949 charm. Downstairs, the finished lower level opens up a whole second way to live: a large game room with newer carpeting, an extra possible bedroom, a full bathroom with a shower, and plenty of storage, all with a walk-out to the yard. There's even a wet bar down here with good bones, waiting for a refresh if you want to bring it back. Set on a quiet Brentwood street, you're minutes from the shops and restaurants along Brownsville Road, Brentwood Park, and Brentwood Towne Square, with Route 51 and the Liberty Tunnels putting Downtown Pittsburgh about fifteen minutes away.
