About This Home
As of June 2023Sun-drenched and surprisingly spacious studio condo in the heart of historic downtown Exeter represents the "pied-aterre" that dreams are made of with all the charm, character and convenience imaginable in the best location ever! Gaze from any of the massive windows in this terrific 2nd floor unit (with elevator access!) in the iconic Merrill Block building built in 1916 and see the American Independence Museum with its yearly festival and re-enactment of history or walk just steps from from the front door to stroll through the Farmer's Market or along the waterfront at Swasey Park, or the PEA trails. The Phillips Exeter Academy campus is literally steps away , as are the quaint shops, coffee and wine bars , local breweries and dining. Amtrak train station is just minutes away. The interior of the condo feels much larger than the square footage with high ceilings, wood floors , great storage space, in-unit laundry (washer/dryer combo), a galley kitchen, dining area separated from the living and bedroom space, and a full bathroom . Low condo fee of $224/month includes water/sewer/snow and trash removal. Public Parking is super convenient and close by. With this location you can have it all ! Open House Saturday 5/13 10-11.30am.
