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). • Brick patio with grill. • Detached garage with man door for your car only + easy street parking. • Quiet, clean household — just you and me (I live upstairs and respect your private space). 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. • Light cleaning of shared spaces expected. 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. Home Amenities: • New windows and doors = quiet, comfortable. • Stainless steel appliances: dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven. • High-quality washer/dryer in basement. • Kitchen stocked with cookware, and room for your own. About Me: I'm a researcher at Apodaca Lab (University of Pittsburgh). Friendly, respectful, and quiet — I maintain the space carefully and respond promptly to any maintenance needs. I welcome people of all backgrounds. If interested, please email me with a brief intro including: • Where you'll be working/studying. • Info about your income/funding and monthly budget. • Desired move-in/move-out dates + any questions. Showings available weekdays: 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM. To sign I'll need to see photo ID and proof of income or funds.
