2362 Parkwood Ave

Are you looking for a home surrounded by natural beauty but close to all the conveniences of city life? Located in a duplex in the best spot of the popular Pittsfield Village condo community, this two-bedroom, one bath unit sits between the wooded Redbud Park and a quiet, secluded courtyard. Yet it's a short walk or bike ride from multiple coffee shops, supermarkets (Kroger and Whole Foods), and just about anything else you'd need, including access to US-23, or to bus stops that will take you quickly to downtown Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, or the UM/EMU campuses. Inside you'll find beautiful, recently refinished hardwood floors and large windows with views of the courtyard and forest throughout the well-lit living room and bedrooms. The living room has ample natural light, built-in storage shelves for books or decorations, a built-in cabinet and TV mount for entertainment systems, and a high ceiling. The refinished kitchen has a tile backsplash and quality appliances. The bathroom has a tile floor, and a sliding door in the tub/shower. In the partially finished basement there's all the storage you could ever need, including a sizable food pantry, a large closet, and an even bigger crawlspace, which is professionally encapsulated, keeping the house warmer in the winter and dryer in the summer, while also providing you with plenty of clean storage space. A new furnace was installed in 2023. Sheltered from the road by a tall and stately pine and overlooking the wooded park, the large deck is a perfect spot for barbecues, or just studying/working outside. If you like to garden, the unit is surrounded by flower gardens that you're welcome to plant in - or if you don't want the hassle, the condo association will keep the garden maintained for you. For your enjoyment during the summer, there's a lovely and fairly large pool - along with the tranquil open spaces and parklands Pittsfield Village is known for. Don't miss this opportunity, there aren't many condos in this price range with a location this beautiful and convenient. Rent includes all condo fees, which cover extensive green areas and courtyards, City of Ann Arbor water, snow/ice removal on sidewalks, lawn/garden maintenance, access to outdoor swimming pool, and tennis court. Renter is responsible for other utilities. Kitchen appliances, washer and dryer are included, and there's built-in shelving, a TV wall mount and entertainment cabinets in the living room, but other furnishings are the tenant's responsibility. Cats are welcome! Dogs are not, due to the recently refinished hardwood floors. Plenty of street parking is available. Central heating and air conditioning. Smoking is not permitted.
