117 Merchants Rd, Rochester, NY 14609

Hello! Note, I may consider a price reduction for a longer-term tenant/lease. Likely available August 1, and potentially Aug 15 or Sept 1. (Please read entire ad before inquiring!) GORGEOUS apartment, great amenities & neighborhood, for very QUIET low-key tenant! This charming, spacious apartment boarders the prestigious Browncroft neighborhood and the popular North Winton Village! First floor of an owner-occupied 2-family house, and I am seeking a very quiet, low-key tenant, ideally for long-term. A true must see -- everyone who sees this apartment loves it and it typically rents quickly. I am keeping the price below market value because I am more interested in finding the right tenant! I am the owner, I live in the second-floor apartment, and I also work from here, so I can only have a very quiet tenant in the building. INTERIOR: Beautiful 2 BR, 1 bath, 1,000 sf, plus extra 250 sf storage. Recently refinished hardwood floors, gumwood trim, energy efficient windows w/blinds. Large living room w/decorative plaster crown molding, decorative brick fireplace, built-in leaded-glass bookshelves, and huge bay window. Large eat-in kitchen w/lots of counter space & newer stainless appliances including an ultra-quiet DW. BASEMENT: FREE on-site laundry! Private lockable 100-sf storage room, plus extra 150-sf of open storage space. EXTERIOR: 2 off-street parking spaces, beautiful & well-kept landscaping, rosebushes, park-like quiet peaceful back yard great for sitting out in, yard well cared for by owner, driveway plowed. GREAT LOCATION: Sits between two of the best neighborhoods in the city. Beautiful first block of Merchants, btwn Browncroft & Winton, only 1 block from 590 expressway, and then you're anywhere in town in minutes. Numerous great restaurants in walking distance: Only 1 block to Winfield Grill, Silver Iguana, Lucky's, Wildflour, coffee shops, an ice cream shop, 2 banks, Winton Branch Library, and more. Under 1 mile walk to several other restaurants, including Khong Thai, Balsam Bagels, Tavos Antojitos, and Merchants Wood Fired Pizza & Bistro. 1 mile to East Ave Wegman's, Aldi's, Starbucks, CVS, and many other stores. 1 mile to Ellison Park or Tryon Park. Quaint little Browncroft Rose Garden park is only 7 driveways away. AVAILABLE: Likely available August 1, and potentially Aug 15 or Sept 1. INCLUDES: Shared laundry, water, snowplowing, lawn/yard care, and garbage. High speed internet and TV also available for extra. NOT ALLOWED: Absolutely NO SMOKING, no vaping, no parties and NO NOISE. I'm sorry but this particular apartment is not for noisy people - looking for a VERY quiet, very low-key tenant. Prefer no animals but certain small animals may be ok (determined on a case-by-case basis - must be extremely well behaved, extremely quiet, and extra monthly rent applies). PRICE/TERMS: $1,575/month plus RG&E, one month security dep, credit & background check, and completed & approved application. Also must have: Income 3x rent & verifiable employment (or the equivalent for a retiree), minimum 680 credit score, housing references, and renter's insurance. 1 year lease, but would like to find someone long-term, and may consider a price reduction for longer-term. TO INQUIRE: There is currently a tenant in the apartment, so I am screening people via application & over the phone first, and then arranging a showing. So please send me your phone #, email address, and the best times to reach you. Best/easiest is to submit an application on Zillow. Hurry, it will not last long! Thank you!
