2579 Matterhorn Dr

In the North Allegheny School District, fully updated, four bedrooms, and a backyard that was designed to be lived in, this is the Franklin Park home buyers in this corridor have been waiting for. Start with the kitchen, because it earns it. Newly updated from top to bottom with quartz countertops, a statement cook's hood, fresh cabinetry, and a layout that flows rather than boxes you in, this is the kitchen you actually cook in, host in, and linger in on Saturday mornings. Hardwood floors carry you through the main living spaces with warmth and continuity, while tile floors land cleanly in every bathroom where they belong. Everything reads intentional, because it is. This isn't a surface refresh, it's a home that was thought through at every level. The primary suite got the same treatment. The newly updated master bath is a proper retreat: no outdated tile, no builder-grade fixtures, just a clean, elevated space that makes getting ready for the day feel less like a chore and more like a ritual. All 2.5 baths are equally updated, matching the standard set throughout. Four bedrooms gives you the flexibility today's buyers demand: primary suite, home office, guest room, and a fourth that becomes whatever this season of life requires. Head downstairs and the finished basement, laminate flooring, clean and functional, adds a full layer of living space for a home gym, game room, or the kind of hangout space that keeps everyone under one roof on a Friday night. Now step outside, because this is where the home fully announces itself. A large stamped-concrete patio creates the main outdoor stage, purpose-built for entertaining, grilling, and the kind of warm-weather evenings that make Franklin Park summers worth having. The entire yard is fully fenced, giving the dog room to run, the kids room to play, and guests room to move freely. And then, tucked into the far back corner, just behind the brand-new shed, is the fire pit area. Slightly removed. Quietly private. Positioned to catch the western sunset. This isn't an afterthought, it's a room without walls, a destination within the yard where the evening actually ends instead of just drifting inside. It's the detail buyers notice in photos and don't forget when they're comparing homes. The sunroom adds a dimension of living that comparable homes at this price point rarely offer. Equal parts indoor and outdoor, it gets used every single month of the year, morning coffee in January, golden hour reading in October, a secondary gathering space when the main floor fills with guests. In this corridor, a sunroom is a differentiator buyers feel the moment they walk in and don't forget when they're deciding. Back to the fundamentals: newer roof and HVAC mean the mechanical spine of this home is solid and current. These are the line items buyers discover at inspection and negotiate around, here, they're already answered. Move-in ready isn't just a phrase in this listing, it's the literal condition of the property. The two-car attached garage handles vehicles, tools, gear, and the overflow that life accumulates, with direct interior access that earns its keep every Pittsburgh winter. Matterhorn Drive sits in Franklin Park, Marshall Township, feeding into Marshall Elementary, Marshall Middle, and North Allegheny High School, one of the most consistently top-ranked districts in the state. Minutes from Route 19, I-79, North Park, the Giant Eagle Market District, and every retail and dining corridor that makes the North Hills run. Pittsburgh proper is twenty minutes. The airport under thirty. Updated throughout. A backyard with intention, stamped patio, fenced yard, new shed, and a private sunset fire pit corner that has no real comparison in the neighborhood. Sunroom. North Allegheny schools. Two-car garage. Homes with this combination in Franklin Park move fast. Schedule your showing before this one teaches you that lesson firsthand.
