The property features a successful history of continuous tenancy and three distinct income-producing spaces. The first-floor commercial space is a well-known cafe/restaurant location with a long history of successful operators, including the former Con Alma Jazz Restaurant. The space was most recently leased for **$4,000/month** and offers an established restaurant layout, approximately 30 indoor seats, a beautifully landscaped outdoor patio, mature gardens, and a distinctive koi pond-creating a highly desirable setting for a restaurant, cafe, bar, or other commercial concept. The main building also includes a unique residential/live-work space that has been home to **Photo Forum Photography Art Gallery for 42 years**, providing an established presence and history within the Shadyside community. The upper levels offer exceptional flexibility for residential, gallery, studio, or owner-user possibilities, with additional outdoor space including private decks and a rooftop terrace with panoramic views. A separate **two-bedroom house** sits at the rear of the property with its own private entrance from the back alley, providing an additional, distinctly separated residential income stream. This house has been rented for the past three years at **$1,950/month**. The property's three-unit configuration creates multiple avenues for an investor to generate income, while the currently vacant restaurant space presents an immediate opportunity to secure a new commercial tenant and increase overall revenue. All three spaces had been continuously rented prior to the restaurant vacancy. Located in the heart of Shadyside along the vibrant Ellsworth Avenue corridor, the property benefits from exceptional walkability, strong visibility, established neighboring businesses, and proximity to shopping, dining, entertainment, universities, hospitals, and major employment centers. With a proven rental history, multiple income streams, a highly recognizable commercial component, and significant owner-user flexibility, **5884 Ellsworth Avenue is an extraordinary investment opportunity that is difficult to duplicate.** ## Location - **Address:** 5884 Ellsworth Ave, Shadyside, PA 15232 - **County:** Allegheny-East - **Coordinates:** 40.457725, -79.927888 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=40.457725,-79.927888 ## Virtual Tour & Media - **Video Tour:** https://www.propertypanorama.com/instaview-tour/wpn/1757830 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Sarah Orbin · **License:** RS327145 - **Brokerage:** Coldwell Banker Real Estate Services - **Broker Phone:** (412) 548-1202 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5884-Ellsworth-Ave_Pittsburgh_PA_15232_M44945-43076?f=listhub&s=WPMLPA&m=1757830&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f190989497r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f3333741919r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f4077182969r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f516324517r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f321604407r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f748374910r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f342332789r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f1205454313r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f2479024258r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f858790290r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f1993451766r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f204868734r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f2071681175r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f3259600884r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f3000248703r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f3696858231r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f757760673r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f1929154353r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f4269361312r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f83939876r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f2782519092r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f4015588087r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f2301884195r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f1060131886r.jpg) ![5884 Ellsworth Ave - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/9b758a1dff9c6c92e7ffcb78b0c79265l-f1595193610r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 1757830 | **Updated:** 2026-10-24 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 West Penn Multi List, Inc.
