Soundproofing For Tile Floors

Buying Here: South Side

The South Side Flats are all about convenience and proximity to restaurants, shops and the Monongahela River.

This 4 1/2-year-old townhouse at 2418 Jane St. (MLS No. 858621) has all of that and is on the market for $599,989 through Northwood Realty Services (724-776-9705 or www.northwood.com ).

With help from Ten Point Building Design in Murrysville, Craig Baldassare designed his house with a traditional exterior and open, contemporary interior. Early on, his neighbors were almost convinced it would be modern through and through. The Polysteel insulated concrete forms used by Integrity Construction sure looked that way. Then came red brick and Colonial-style windows.

"People kept coming up to me and saying, 'Thank you for doing something that blended in with the neighborhood,' '' he said.

At three full stories, this house is bigger than its neighbors, but its brick exterior helps it fit in with older brick townhouses on one side and a converted storefront on the other. The lot where this house stands was the parking lot for the shop next door, Mr. Baldassare said. He could find no record that a building had ever been there before.

Open houses are scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday and 6 to 8 p.m. Aug. 24.

The house boasts 2,600 square feet, three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths and a two-car tandem garage. But the layout is a bit unusual -- garage and game room on the first floor, all three bedrooms on the second floor and kitchen, living room and dining room on the third. It was built for entertaining, he said. The wide-open third floor leads to a 20-by-8-foot front balcony deck and an even better party space -- a 50-by-20-foot rooftop deck. Half is covered in Trex composite decking. The other half has synthetic grass installed by South West Greens of Pennsylvania, best known for home putting greens.

"They told me it could be easily converted to a putting green. I just wanted the kids to have some place to play," he said.
