About this home
Elegance at its finest welcome home to 5427 Forbes Ave a truly stunning masterpiece featuring some of the most delicate and detailed iron wood and glass work of Pittsburghs' Gilded Era. From the moment you walk between the two brick pillars and past the wrought iron fence, you are greeted with an oversized vestibule adorned with hand bent and forged wrought iron scroll work on the immense inner doors. When you finally enter the home through its grand doorways, a stunning entry way with its hardwood flooring and hand painted border, and a massive staircase greets you. Along with the rest of the home, a Victorian era elevator has been meticulously restored. The main floors, dining and living room are just as impressive with the hand carved wainscoting and ornamental Greek pillars that adorn built-in's in the two rooms. There are several fireplaces and two of them are log burning. From the living room there is seamless transition to a spacious open concept chef's kitchen . Equipped with the top of the line professional kitchen appliances, it includes dual dishwashers and both gas and electric stoves. The large kitchen overlooks the backyard and patio with a just as impressive full stainless steel outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven. The perfect blend of old and new resonates through the rest of the property with each bedroom having all the old charm with new modern bathrooms. The third floor will give any visitor to the property the biggest surprise with its 25ft high vaulted ceiling and modern family slash game room made for entertaining. This property is a truly must-see property with too many details to talk about including a rare 3 car garage with a remodeled carriage house, that is currently rented out. There is a heated driveway and as a special bonus the basement includes a wine cellar and gym....
