Property Description

Unique Mixed-Use Opportunity in the Heart of Shadyside
Welcome to 5884 Ellsworth Avenue, a truly unique and iconic Shadyside property offering endless possibilities for investors, entrepreneurs, artists, and owner-occupants alike. Home to the renowned Photo Forum since 1986, this one-of-a-kind property consists of three distinct units: a commercial café space, a residential apartment/art gallery, and a separate two-bedroom house.
The main building features a charming 30-seat café on the first floor, currently configured for food and beverage service. Rich in local history, the space once housed the beloved Con Alma before its move downtown. Guests can enjoy a beautifully landscaped 35-seat outdoor patio complete with a tranquil koi pond and mature gardens, creating an inviting urban oasis.
The upper levels of the main building offer exceptional live/work flexibility. The second floor is currently home to the Photo Forum photography gallery and includes a kitchen with access to a private deck. The residential space extends to the third floor, offering a spacious one-to-two-bedroom apartment highlighted by a stunning solarium. Above it all, a rooftop deck provides breathtaking panoramic views of Shadyside and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Adding even more value, the property includes a separate two-bedroom house located at the rear of the lot with alley access, creating additional rental income potential, guest accommodations, or owner occupancy options.
Outdoor living and entertaining spaces abound, from the café patio to the private residential deck and expansive rooftop terrace. Situated in one of Pittsburgh's most walkable neighborhoods, the property enjoys constant foot traffic and is just steps from the shopping, dining, and entertainment districts of Shadyside and East Liberty. Major universities, hospitals, and employment centers are only a short drive away.
Whether you're seeking an investment opportunity, a live/work environment, or a landmark property with character and history, 5884 Ellsworth Avenue is a rare offering unlike anything else on the market.
