Watch the River Go By: Family Home with Playroom, Near RMU Sports Center

Enjoy coffee on the deck while the river rolls by — the Ohio River is right outside your window. A playroom keeps the kids happy, and the big table brings the whole family together.

This Neville Island home offers easy access to the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center, posh Sewickley, and the airport.

Our design emphasizes both style and function. We want you feel like you`re someplace special, while still finding all the comforts of home - children and pets are welcome!

This home has two floors. The ground level includes two large bedrooms on opposing sides of the house, with a full bathroom in between. The washer and dryer are in the hallway to the bathroom.

Upon entering the house, when you look to the right, you`ll find one bedroom has been set up for youngsters. There is a TV lounge area, and a table for board games, activities, or eating. This room also has a bunk bed with two full-size mattresses (in case you need extra space for 1 or 2 adult couples).

Across the hall is a similarly sized bedroom with a queen bed and a crib.

The second floor is the house`s primary gathering space - a fully-equipped kitchen (featuring an expansive coffee station), dining room (seating for 8-10 + 1 high chair), and a bright and airy living room with a whole wall of windows overlooking the Ohio River and the backyard. The living room also includes an electric fireplace.

There are 2 additional bedrooms on this floor, and another full bathroom with a tub. One bedroom has a queen bed, and the other has a king bed and a dedicated workspace.

Outside: there are two sliding doors in the living room that open to a very spacious (runs the width of the house) deck. This deck includes two gas fire pits, an outdoor dining table (for 4), two love seats, and two Adirondack chairs. There are stairs down to the backyard.

All bedrooms have Roku TVs (see below for TV sizes).

While this home has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the first floor, the kitchen, dining room, living room, and deck all require one small, carpeted flight of stairs.

The home has river views, but no direct river access.

Due to liability concerns, we cannot set up the bounce house when high winds, or extreme cold are forecasted.

There is one large (and very occasional) exception to the peace and quiet, and it`s better to not learn about this by surprise. The island still uses a very loud claxon siren to alert all volunteer firefighters in the event of a fire. It sounds like an air raid siren, which can be unsettling if you don`t know what it is.

There are also train tracks on the north side of the island, and across the river to the south. The infrequent rail traffic is audible.

We`re committed to doing whatever we can to make your stay the best it can be. We absolutely love this city and would be delighted to share with you some of our favorite restaurants, museums, parks or attractions. We respect your privacy and will communicate as little or as much as you wish.

The home is set back 2 blocks from the main road through Neville (Grand Ave). Most houses are modest in size and well-kept. It sits on a riverfront lot.

For groceries and restaurants, you will have to cross the river either into Coraopolis or Sewickley, but for convenience items there are two great gas stations within a mile (Sheetz and Speedway).

The RMU Sports Center is a 2-minute drive in the other direction, and there you`ll find a cafe that serves Starbucks Coffee.

This location also offers quick and easy access to and from Route 65 and Interstate 79.

Neville Island is easy to drive around, and also serviced by the Pittsburgh city bus system.

The immediate area around the house is residential and walkable, on both side of Grand Ave. You walk from the south side of the island to the north side of the island in under 10 minutes.

We`re available to help make your stay the best it can be, but the level of communication is entirely up to you. It is always our pleasure to make suggestions on where to go and what to do.

You will also receive a guidebook three days before check-in with recommendations and instructions for the appliances in the home.
