About This Home
As of January 2023Modern Day Renovations Enhance 1830’s Charm. In historic Mercer Hill, just a few doors down from Einstein’s former home, this picture-perfect 4 bedroom has been beautifully renovated without disturbing one bit of its 1830’s charm. It’s all about the details, like the living room’s fireplace, an under-the-stairs powder room wrapped in a joyful nautical print, and a new mudroom outfitted with a built-in bench. You’ll want to spend most of your time in the wonderful open-flow family room and brand new kitchen, where French doors lead to a sweet, coffee-sized terrace. A walnut cook island, quartz counters, and stainless steel appliances are practical and beautiful. An upstairs laundry room and the home’s hardwood floors benefit 4 sun-filled bedrooms: one with a window seat and the owner’s suite, which enjoys a gas fireplace and one of two new modern bathrooms. The property is ideal, with a deep leafy backyard, stone patio, and 1-car garage - plus it’s just sidewalks to town for a dinner and a show, and blocks to the Dinky train!
