WELCOME TO YOUR FOREST HILLS DREAM HOME! This beautifully updated 2-story brick and frame home offers 1,785 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a rare .54-acre lot, combining the character and charm of an established home with the modern updates and open layout today's buyers are looking for. Step inside from the spacious covered front porch and immediately notice the beautiful hardwood floors that flow throughout the main level. The inviting living room opens seamlessly into the updated kitchen and dining area, creating a fantastic space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features newer cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island. Just off the dining area, step outside to the covered patio overlooking the expansive rear yard. The first floor also offers a powder room and main level bedroom, formal dining room or flex space with two oversized windows providing abundant natural light. Upstairs, the hardwood floors continue into two generously sized bedrooms and a truly stunning modern bathroom featuring a double vanity and beautiful custom tile work. The walk-out lower level provides excellent additional space, including a finished bonus room, generous storage, and plenty of height for future possibilities. Outside, the half-acre property is an urban-suburban oasis. Mature trees provide privacy while lush garden beds, a stepping-stone path, raised vegetable garden, fire pit, covered patio, and multi-level yard create an exceptional setting for relaxing, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A private driveway provides plenty of off-street parking. This home offers the best of both worlds: the peaceful feel of suburban living while remaining remarkably convenient to everything Pittsburgh has to offer. Walk to the community pool or playground or take a 5-minute drive to the local farmers market, bistro, coffee shop or grocery store.
