117 Merchants Rd, Rochester, NY 14609

Hello! Note, I may consider a price reduction for a longer-term tenant!

Available July 15 or July 1 (Please read entire ad to answer your questions). ...

GORGEOUS apartment, great amenities & neighborhood, for very QUIET low-key tenant.

This charming, spacious apartment boarders both the prestigious Browncroft neighborhood and the popular North Winton Village! 1st floor of an owner-occupied 2-family house, and I am seeking a very quiet, low-key tenant, ideally for long-term. Available July 15 or July 1. A true must see -- everyone who sees this apartment loves it and it typically rents very quickly.

Zestimate is $1650/mo but 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, and energy efficient windows with blinds. Large living room has gorgeous decorative plaster crown moldings, decorative brick fireplace with built-in leaded-glass bookshelves, and huge bay window. Large eat-in kitchen with lots of counter space and newer stainless appliances, including ultra-quiet DW. Recent bathroom updates.

BASEMENT: FREE on-site laundry! Laundry shared with owner. 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, and driveway plowed.

GREAT LOCATION: Sits between two of the best neighborhoods in the city. First block of Merchants, between Browncroft & Winton, a half-block around the corner from the 590 expressway, and then you’re anywhere in town in minutes. Beautiful street, I and countless others enjoying walking regularly in the surrounding neighborhoods. Numerous great hip restaurants in walking distance: Only 1 block to Winfield Grill, Silver Iguana, Lucky’s, Captain Jim’s Fish Market, an ice cream shop, 2 banks, Wildflour, Winton Branch Library, and more. Under 1 mile walk to several other restaurants, including Khong Thai, Balsam Bagels, and the new Tavos Antojitos. 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.

OTHER RENTAL INFO:
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).

AVAILABLE: Ideally July 15, but can be available July 1.

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 670 credit score, housing references, and renter’s insurance. 1 year lease, but would like to find someone long-term.

TO INQUIRE: There are currently tenants in the apartment, so I am screening people via application & over the phone first, and then arranging a showing. So please send me your email address, phone #, and the best times to reach you. Application fee may apply, depending on where you apply, inquire for details. Thank you! Read More
