350 S Atlantic Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15224

This is probably one of the largest upgraded 1 bedroom Apts with AC and off-street parking in all of Friendship. This community is a small, quaint and quiet place to live. It's made up of 100 plus year old homes and is located between Bloomfield and Shadyside. Friendship is much smaller which makes it more unique, less traffic and less commercial. In addition to older homes, you'll find a coffee shop, Dunkin Doughnuts / 5 Guys, several churches, a grocery store, pharmacy, two private schools, a day care, a large park as well as several hospitals. This small triangular shaped neighborhood with only 15 streets is bordered by and has easy access to 3 major roads - Liberty, Baum and Penn Ave. The best decisions you'll make in life are usually some of the most informed decisions. If you're wondering why there is so much info in this ad it's to help you make the most informed decision possible about where to live. And, to say thank you for considering this apt! Two of the tenants have been in this house 8 plus years. A third tenant just relocated for a job promotion on the West Coast after graduating. This couple relocated after 5 years, which has led to a vacancy. The couple's two biggest regrets were leaving their PGH friends and leaving this house. Rather than living in a high rise apt, consider living in an older home probably built by a coal executive back in 1905. All of the original stained-glass windows, original floors and built in wood workings can still be found throughout this home. This home will give you the vibe and flavor of the people who built this town. However, when it comes to older homes, I'd always encourage prospective tenants to do their homework: 1) Vet your perspective landlord and the house - and 2) while staying within your budget, I encourage everyone to try and get the best VALUE possible for your money. Comparing the rental rate of the unit to the square footage (i.e. cost per sf) is a great way to measure how much value you're getting for your money and to differentiate the available units on the market. For example, the cost to rent this 1450 sf apt divided by $1450 rent = $1 / sf. The level of continued investment that the landlord may or may not have reinvested to maintain their older home and make it as energy efficient as possible runs the full gambit in every neighborhood. HINT: If you don't enjoy the moving process, avoid the four biggest factors - find a unit that's well insulated, has AC, provides off-street parking & is large enough to grow into over time. If you're looking at a rental ad and it doesn't state the SF, doesn't include off-street parking, no mention about AC or doesn't list the number of units in the house, ask! These are all really important factors that will impact how long you'll stay and your quality of living. As the Landlord / Owner of this home my goal is to earn your business by keeping this house as nice, clean and comfortable for my long-term guests as possible. I expect the same from my tenants so you can be proud of where you live and have enough room to grow into your apt if you plan to stay in PGH longer than one year. The typical tenants in this 120-year-old house are usually in their mid 20's to late 30's, quiet, non-smokers don't vape inside and are respectful of their fellow tenants. I've intentionally elected to keep just a few larger units in this house versus subdividing into smaller units. Yes! Less money for me, but in return, it allows me to maintain a lower density population and provide greater security for my house guests. The average apartment in this house is 1500 square feet - almost twice as large as most other units on the market. All of the units in this house are competitively priced at $1 / sf. There are 4 units in this house. (Unfortunately only one unit for lease!) All have AC. Each unit has a guaranteed off-street parking spot and their own covered entrance for added security. This home is located one mile from Google's headquarters. Its approx. 3 miles from CMU and Pitt with three public transportation stops available. Friendship is considered one of the most desirable and safest places to live for incoming graduate students, dental students, nursing students, medical students and especially young couples. Most of the tenants in this neighborhood are either working on a master / doctrine program or working full time so it's a quiet community. This home has extra privacy because it's located on a one-way street with a vacant lot across the street and an alley behind the home that distances this house from the neighbors and road noise. The majority of the restoration and renovation work on this particular home took four-years to complete. Work was done with permits and to code. This home has now been upgraded with newest technologies. This home has had all of its plumbing, electrical wiring, lighting, mechanicals and appliances either completely replaced or upgraded to energy star standards. Additional upgrades and improvements to this home are added almost every year. Careful planning also went into insuring that the original features that made up this home's overall character and charm were also preserved and restored during the renovation period. This unit is currently 1 bedroom but there is room to add a second bedroom if the new tenant's need it. This unit is one of the three units in this home with10-foot ceilings and restored hardwood floors. All of the single pane windows were replaced with high efficiency windows. Closed cell spray foam insulation was added into the walls along with two AC units to this apt to insure a comfortable, cool and a low humidity environment at all times, especially for this third-floor unit. In Pittsburgh, AC is only a necessity 1-2 months a year. It's a luxury the other months of the year and that option is included in your fixed utility payment. When your windows are open and it's 80% humidity inside and out, you can suffer through it or sleep soundly through it. Utilities are fixed and paid monthly to the landlord in addition to the rent. This home is located in the heart of Friendship with dedicated off-street assigned parking in back. Each unit includes one free off street parking space for one car. If you have two cars and don't want to overnight park on the street, an addition off street parking space is available to rent for $75 / month extra. I'm hoping you're starting to think "this well-maintained house might make a great place to call home!" Overnight street parking for additional cars or your guests is also available if needed via a street parking permit. This apt has original hardwood floors (except for bathroom). The entire apartment has recently been repainted. This apartment includes a large living room, remodeled bathroom, good sized bedroom, walk in closet, 10-foot ceilings, recessed lighting and it comes with a large spacious kitchen with quartz counter tops, good size butcher block island, newer cabinets, a dishwasher, refrigerator, deep sink, cook top and oven. This unit also includes multiple exits, recessed lighting throughout, interesting architecture and new wallpaper in the kitchen. The common areas for this 6,000-sf home includes a spacious wraparound front porch with a new front porch swing, an oversized lot with mature trees, manicured lawn and a W/D located in the basement. The two oversized yards make it a nice place for backyard Bar B Q's as well as "people watching" from the front porch. There are countless perennial flowers planted in the front, side and back yard. Due to refinished hardwood floors, this house allows cats, but so sorry, no dogs. This apt will be available for move in as early as the last week of June or anytime in July to avoid the rush, and crowded streets. If you are seriously interested and would like to tour this apt, please - PLEASE fill out the online Zillow application that's attached to this Ad. Zillow charges $35 (I make nothing) but your application helps landlords like me know you're seriously considering their unit. Your application can also be used to apply for multiple units / multiple times over a 30-day period and again, it helps both of us find a great fit. Your application allows me to provide something you'd probably want from your landlord which is extra privacy and security for their existing tenants by screening and knowing more about anyone who is given access to part of the home you're living in. I try to respond to everyone who inquires or fills out an application, but sorry I WILL NOT set up a tour unless you've either submitted an application or we've spoken live prior to a tour. All the best in your search and thank you again for considering this house!
