Why rent when you can own? You could be enjoying a brand-new house just in time for summer.

This two-story home with basement is newly completed at the corner of Holland Avenue and Fourth Street in Braddock, Pa., adjacent to Braddock Civic Plaza and one block from public transportation. Close to the East Busway, Parkway East and Waterfront.

Three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, plenty of closet space. New high-efficiency forced heating and air conditioning, off-street parking, and 200-amp electric service.

Easy-to-clean laminate floors and wall-to-wall carpeting throughout. Basement includes laundry hook-ups.

Purchase price of $140,000 does not reflect substantial down-payment and closing cost assistance available through Allegheny County Economic Development. (Income restrictions apply and all buyers must complete free pre-purchase housing counseling to qualify.)
