This is the Man on a Mission to Revive Spring Garden
Chris Waraks aims to restore this North Side neighborhood, one house at a time. Chris Waraks is an urban warrior of a different kind, using hammer and nails to transform neighborhoods. Now, the North Side resident is using those same tools to change lives. Nearly two decades ago, Waraks was living in Greensburg and working as a contractor in new home construction, specializing in high-end upgrades, with his business, Mr. Renovation. Then the recession hit.
We Featured Them — What Happened Next with These Summer “Hot Properties?” | Pittsburgh Magazine
What’s selling in the East End, plus a look back at what makes the area so special. I grew up on Pittsburgh’s East End in Highland Park. I attended the local schools, played with the neighbors on my street and, like most other kids, had no idea how beautiful it was until I visited Miami Beach.
Behind the Scenes of A Very Special Spring Garden Renovation
Rosa Colucci takes a look at the restoration of 926 Peralta St., a grand Victorian-stye rowhouse that once was on the verge of collapse. I met Chris Waraks eight years ago, when I toured a Spring Garden home he renovated that won an award for a local renovation contest. Waraks worked with investor/owner Kim Basick on that home and six others on Peralta Street. Across the street from his renovation was a grand Victorian-style row house that was crumbling with each passing day.
The "Little Purple Bungalow" Was There For Its Owner When She Needed It Most
It’s impossible to miss the purple-painted exterior and murals of the bungalow along Route 8 in Richland. Sometimes a Hot Property isn’t one that’s torn from the pages of a magazine, but it’s the right house for the right time. That’s the story of the “Little Purple Bungalow” north of Pittsburgh in Richland; the house at 6051 William Flinn Highway crossed paths with Sherri Spagnolli five years ago, when her life was in transition. “I was going through a divorce,” she says.
This Mount Washington Townhouse has it All — Including a Killer View | Pittsburgh Magazine
Beyond its view of Pittsburgh’s skyline, the three-level, custom home boasts luxury bathrooms and an elevator.

There's No Need to Update This Well-Priced Ranch in Penn Hills
The four-bedroom home recently received a farmhouse-chic makeover. After 14 years as a rental, a renovated ranch in Penn Hills is ready for permanent residents. Real estate agent April Bartley has managed the four-bedroom, 2,500 square-foot property at 103 Long Road as a rental for years. She recently listed the home for $324,999 (MLS#1603760, howardhanna.com). It is open by appointment.
Good Schools and Neighborhood? Check and Check in Mt. Lebanon
The sunny, four-bedroom, multi-level home is on a tree-lined street with sidewalks. The most important amenity Min Leamon and her husband, Steven, were looking for when they moved to Pittsburgh seven years ago was a good school district. They found that — and so much more —in Mt. Lebanon. “We came from Wilmington Island, Georgia,” Min says. “We chose several areas to focus on and were drawn to Mt. Lebanon because the graduates and alumni were very successful.

Why You Should Keep an Eye on These Pittsburgh Neighborhoods
Not in the spotlight just yet, but they could be soon. Racheallee Lacek, global real estate advisor with Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty and one of the region’s top agents, has her eye on other areas that residents are rediscovering. Just cast as host of the Pittsburgh version of TV’s “The American Dream” real estate show, she has special expertise in condo development and new construction and works with several trade organizations to keep the pulse on what is happening beneath the surface.
This Handsome Stone Manor in Highland Park Has a Very Pittsburgh Story
Before being completely restored into a single-family home, the seven-bedroom property has been subdivided into three apartment units. Beth Littleton got her first glimpse of her home-to-be in Highland Park via video from a Sony Camcorder. The year was 2001, and Littleton was living in Virginia and expecting her second baby, when her then-husband, Chris Schunn, accepted a job as a professor with the University of Pittsburgh. He went to visit Pittsburgh with one mission — finding a home.

We Featured Them — What Happened Next with These "Hot Properties?" | Pittsburgh Magazine
Columnist Rosa Colucci takes a look at what’s selling in the region — and why you may have to tweak your dream home list thanks to a lack of housing inventory. Any property that you purchase this year is definitely a Hot Property. As we enter summer, housing inventory around the region continues to be scarce — and that’s a trend that won’t be changing anytime soon. The National Association of Realtors Housing Report in March showed just 2.8 months of inventory on hand.
Could Opportunity Knock Again With This Charming Dormont Home?
Maggie Kuchera became a homeowner at 28 when she purchased the century-old, Craftsman-style home. When friends decided to sell their Dormont home, Maggie Kuchera saw it as an opportunity to own her own home before she reached the age of 30. At the time, Kuchera was living in Shadyside, but couldn’t afford to purchase a home there. “Dormont was much more affordable,” she says.
You'll Find Conveniences Everywhere With This Squirrel Hill North Condo
Nestled against Chatham University, the two-bedroom unit has easy access to the city neighborhood’s upscale shops, restaurants and public transportation. Hidden by mature trees, the two-bedroom, two-bath unit that’s part of a complex nestled on the edge of Chatham University on a private lane in Squirrel Hill North also has the good fortune of the campus’ lush greenspace as its backyard.

The six-bedroom property in Marshall includes a one-bedroom apartment, a wine cellar and a Pilates studio.

Ready to Dive into This Shaler Home with a Picture Perfect Pool?
The four-bedroom, stone ranch has been updated from top to bottom. While Mary Lee and Bruno Conicella loved the four-bedroom, stone ranch at 1605 Burchfield Road in Shaler, it was the recently installed in-ground pool that sealed the deal for the couple when they viewed it for the first time 34 years ago. “Our two children are both in their 30s now, but when they were young kids, we were the house that everyone converged upon, which we loved,” Mary Lee says.
Fore! Life’s a Breeze Living on the Greens in Cecil
The well-appointed, three-bedroom townhouse overlooks the 8th hole on Southpointe’s golf course. There are lots of reasons to love living on a golf course besides golfing — just ask Patricia DelGadillo and her husband, Alejandro Barretto. After selling their Downtown condo in 2021, the couple moved to 130 Fairway Landings Drive, a three-bedroom, 2½ bathroom townhouse overlooking the 8th hole on Southpointe’s golf course. “The view is gorgeous, we can see the pond, the trees,” DelGadillo says.
This is the Kind of Neighborhood Where the Homeowners Become Family
Houses like the five-bedroom, brick house on Woodwell Street in Squirrel Hill North rarely become available. Tucked away in Squirrel Hill North on a street just one city block long, 6625 Woodwell Street is the kind of home that rarely makes it to market. The families who live in these homes rarely move; when they do, a close relative or friend usually scoops it up. Which is why Dan Klionsky and his wife, Janee Studnitzer, had to work so hard to land it.
The Mirror House is For Sale — Could You See Yourself Living Here? | Pittsburgh Magazine
Artist Martin Prekop spent years turning the one-of-a-kind O’Hara home into a living art installation. Nicknamed “The Mirror House” due to its unusual mirror-clad exterior, 897 Field Club Road in O’Hara was a simple split-level ranch when artist Martin Prekop and his late wife, Martha, bought it in 1994. It’s not that way anymore.

Moving From Cleveland, This Family Found They Loved Living in Cranberry
Their spacious four-bedroom house features a killer custom closet. When Morgan Pease and her family were being transferred to the Pittsburgh area for work, they secured a realtor to help find them a home.

The two-story home had white vinyl siding that had turned to gray and in front was a street-level garage with rickety wooden doors.

From Blue Collar to Hipster, Lawrenceville's Story is Part of This House
The four-bedroom, single-family home was owned for more than 40 years by the same family with deep Pittsburgh roots. Their story is a classic tale of Lawrenceville’s evolution.
