Huge Brookline Property Being Marketed For $2.5 Million

BROOKLINE, PA - One of the largest vacant properties in Pittsburgh is on the market. It’s a 34-acre parcel on Jacob Street in Brookline and its owner is asking $2.5 million for the mostly wooded area.

The Realtor.com listing calls the site a “profitable development opportunity” just off of Route 51 that is “ready for construction which is much needed in the area.”

Allegheny County property assessment records indicate the huge parcel is owned by Anthony Ruscitto-Three M Real Estate Associates of Venetia, which bought it in 2011. The property has been in the Ruscitto family since at least 1980.

The current assessed value of the property is considerably less than the $2.5 million asking price. The county values the land at $45,356.
