About This Home

As of November 2021

842 Mercer street is a beautiful 3 bed, 1 bath home nestled on a lovely street in Fishtown. Take note of the handsome brick facade as you enter into the living room with hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a decorative fireplace. Flow through to the dining space, which is large enough to seat the entire family for Thanksgiving! While these rooms are spacious & updated they still exude comfort & coziness. The updated kitchen is to the back of the home with stainless steel appliances including gas stove, dishwasher, and fridge. Dark blue and white cabinets are complemented by butcher counters. There is a bonus space/mudroom to the back with additional storage that leads you to the back patio - perfect for a small cafe set and some plants. The upper level boasts 3 well-sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The rear bedroom is currently being used as a spare room and office. With light coming in from two sides of the house, this has been the most wonderful setup to work from home. The bathroom has a modern subway tile shower with a hexagon tile floor. This is offset by the simple wooden vanity with drawers for storage. The front bedroom is large enough for a king-size bed, closet system, and two smaller closets that are original to the house. There is an unfinished basement with plenty of room for storage and access to the washer and dryer. Located right in the heart of Fishtown and within the Adaire Catchment, you are walking distance from tons of local restaurants & bars, beautiful public green spaces like Palmer & Penn Treaty Park, and easily accessible to public transportation. Don't miss out on your chance and schedule your tour today!
