About This Home

As of September 2022

This delightful and lovable Mercerville street, part of Hamilton’s desirable Steinert School district, is an oasis of quiet within a vibrant neighborhood loaded with locally-owned restaurants and everyday conveniences, most just a quick stroll down the road. Even the world-renowned Grounds for Sculpture is a mere stone’s throw away! The well maintained home reflects the pride and creativity of its artist owners throughout every inch. Both the roof and gas-converted furnace were installed in 2019 and updates to the kitchen and bath were expertly executed. Bold colors give a contemporary edge to original features, like wood floors and bulls-eye trim. The sunroom entry is heated for year-round use and offers a handy spot to stow coats and shoes before heading into the sizable living room. Granite, subway tile and stainless steel are a universally pleasing combination in the kitchen, where cooks will love the extra-deep sink and 6-burner range. The breakfast room opens to a covered deck perched above the fenced yard. A powder room keeps guests out of the upstairs bathroom, where the shower is super spacious and handsomely tiled. Closets are surprisingly plentiful in the 2 larger bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining space, currently used as a TV lounge. The third bedroom is perfectly sized for a home office. On the way down to the clean-as-can-be basement, a side door opens to the private driveway with parking for 2 or more vehicles. A surprising retreat! Come see!
