Description

I am an anthropologist at Carnegie Mellon University and I also work with a global nonprofit. My husband and I came to Pittsburgh for grad school, met in our anthropology doctoral program, and stayed in Pittsburgh to raise our family. Our sunny, thoughtfully updated home that has a private, fenced-in yard and forest behind it, high ceilings, large windows, and is ideal for visiting academic/medical fellow with children. We purchased the home in 2021 and have taken great care of it, and we are seeking responsible tenants to enjoy our space. A short drive from local universities, hospitals, shopping, and downtown, and short walk to a city park with playground, public pool, and ball fields. Public transportation is available to universities and downtown, with bus stops down the street. The main floor offers a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and a sunny foyer. A west-facing back deck is a great spot for morning coffee, evening meals at sunset, and friendly gatherings. I have spent many hours writing on the back deck as the wind blows through the trees! On the second floor you will find a large bathroom, two bedrooms, one with an ensuite full bath and the other with ample room for a desk and bookshelves. The second story also offers a bonus room great for an office space or reading nook. Two large rooms on the third floor are currently used as a bedroom and office. Each room has a very large storage closet. We welcome inquiries and are happy to negotiate length of stay and rent, though we prefer a lease term of 12–24 months. Credit, employment, and reference check required.
