A Rare Opportunity in Pgh Peaceful, Clean, and Close to Pitt and CMU!
If you're looking for an affordable, quiet, and well-maintained home near Oakland, this may be perfect for you. I'm a private homeowner (not a large building slumlord) who takes pride in providing a comfortable, respectful living space.
Your Space:
Private 1-bedroom with newly remodeled private bathroom (see pics).
Furnished with desk, chair, and twin bed ready for move-in. Lots of shelving, medicine cabinet.
Scenic front window with summer fireworks and fall foliage views.
Your own private entrance and front porch with two comfortable chairs available for seating peaceful, perfect for reading or relaxing.
Home Features:
Large, fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, and laundry room.
Home gym (power rack, high quality barbell, weights, resistance bands, 65" TV in gym).

Detached garage with man door for your car only + easy street parking.

Who This is Perfect For:
Looking for a grad student, young professional, academics etc., who value peace, cleanliness, and mutual respect.
Smoke-free home, no parties, no heavy drinking, no recreational drug use.
Occasional overnight guests okay, but no live-in partners.

Transportation and Location Highlights:
5-minute walk to CMU Shuttle + bus stops (93 Hazelwood, 58 Greenfield).
~15-min bus ride to CMU/Pitt comfortable, heated/AC buses.
Important Note: I've found it's much easier to take an air-conditioned or heated bus from Greenfield to Oakland (about 10-15 minutes), than to live in Oakland and walk 15 minutes through the extreme heat and cold of Pittsburgh's summer and winter months.
14 min walk to Giant Eagle / 10-min walk to Squirrel Hill.
30 min scenic walk to CMU/Pitt via Schenley Park.
Quick access to Boulevard of the Allies.
3-minute walk to Mondays Brewing Co.
