About This Home
As of December 2021PRICED TO SELL! Welcome to 829 Mercer Street: This beautiful home with classic brick façade and original wood details is located in the heart of Fishtown on a quiet street in the coveted Alexander Adaire Catchment. The first floor is an open concept with hardwood floors, exposed brickwork, a wood stove for cozy fall and winter nights, and big bright windows that fill the space with tons of natural light. The updated kitchen features modern glass backsplash, granite counters and newer stainless steel appliances and gorgeous, new ceramic flooring carries through to the newly installed half bath on the first floor. Small concrete patio off the back gives you a bit of outdoor space for a grill or container gardening. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms, the main of which is large enough for a king bed set with beautiful exposed brick, large wardrobe and 11+ foot ceilings! The three piece hall bath is updated as well and has a tub/shower combo with gleaming white tile, lots of storage, and a window for ventilation. The back two bedrooms are classic row home sized, perfect for a smaller bedroom set, home office, or a designated walk in closet room! Basement is full sized and houses the laundry facilities and tons of storage space. The home is literally in the middle of Fishtown so you walk to nearby favorites and such as Loco Pez and Reanimator Coffee. Frankford Ave and Front St are home to Front St Cafe, Wm Mulherin’s Sons, Suraya, Cheu Fishtown, City Fitness, and La Colombe, to name a few hot spots. The location really can not be beat.
