This fully gut-renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home (~1,100 sq ft) spans two full floors of a historic rowhouse at 2035 Forbes Avenue in The Bluff/Uptown steps from UPMC Mercy Hospital and minutes from UPMC Presbyterian, Magee-Womens, and Children's Hospital in Oakland. Ideal for medical professionals, hospital staff, and residents looking for a quality home close to work.
The chef's kitchen is a showstopper: emerald green subway tile backsplash, quartz peninsula with black matte coil faucet, white shaker cabinets floor to ceiling, gas range, stainless steel refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher all brand new. Designer dome pendant lighting on brass fixtures completes a space that looks straight out of a design magazine.
The layout spans three levels. You enter through a foyer at street level and climb to the main living floor, which features an open kitchen with gas range and quartz peninsula, a dining area, spacious living room, a full bathroom with soaking tub, washer/dryer, and a private rear staircase down to the shared backyard.
