This stylish single-floor unit showcases a thoughtful blend of industrial and contemporary design throughout. Soaring ceilings with exposed ductwork and globe pendant lighting set an airy, loft-inspired tone in the main living and kitchen areas. Light-toned wood-style flooring flows continuously across the space, tying each room together seamlessly. The open-concept living area is anchored by large, black-framed grid windows that flood the room with natural light and offer views of the surrounding urban streetscape. The kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, light granite-style countertops, a white subway tile backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a range, dishwasher, and refrigerator. High ceilings and a generous window make the kitchen feel bright and expansive. A hallway lined with a full-length framed mirror and louvered closet doors leads to the private quarters. The primary bedroom is a serene retreat, offering a soft neutral palette, mirrored nightstands, and warm ambient lighting. A second bedroom provides additional flexibility. The bathroom is clean and well-appointed, with white cabinetry, a granite-topped vanity, wood-look tile flooring, and a shower-tub combination. Throughout the unit, curated artwork and thoughtful finishes contribute to a polished, modern aesthetic.

The Strip District is a narrow strip of land just outside of downtown Pittsburgh on the banks of the Allegheny River. As one of the trendiest and most popular shopping neighborhoods in the city, residents and visitors alike find its authenticity to be what Pittsburgh is all about. An oasis for food lovers, the Strip District offers low prices and an astounding variety of produce stands, international grocers, meat and fish markets, and independent vendors. All of this is alongside boutique shops, retailers, and some of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh with a broad range of international cuisines.
Primanti Bros. is a staple to the Strip District and has been since 1933. It’s turned into a popular chain known for its unique sandwiches and laid back atmosphere, so visit their original location where it all started at the Strip District. Try some Argentinian delicacies at Gaucho with wood-fire grilled meats galore.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
