Set within the beautifully restored Fifth Avenue School Lofts, this expansive loft-style apartment offers approximately 1,518 square feet of living space in one of Uptown Pittsburgh's most distinctive historic buildings.

Residents also enjoy quick access to major bus routes along Fifth and Forbes Avenue, nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood conveniences.
Inside, the apartment features dramatic open living spaces with oversized windows that bring in abundant natural light throughout the day. Original building flooring and exposed steel beams preserve the loft's historic character, while designer lighting and custom window treatments add a polished modern feel.
