Property Description

Location, Location, Location. Charming 3 Bedroom, 1.5 Bath Fishtown Home with Original Details & Modern Updates. Welcome to 828 Mercer Street—a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated home in the heart of always-desirable Fishtown and in the sought-after Adaire School Catchment. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has been meticulously updated inside and out while retaining its original charm and craftsmanship. Step through the restored Tofani Star wood front door into a bright tiled vestibule featuring vintage Pink and White heart-patterned tiles. Inside, you'll find just refinished original Heart Pine hardwood floors, restored millwork, moldings, railings, and banisters, and all-new Matte Black ceiling fans and light fixtures that add a modern, cohesive touch throughout. The updated eat-in kitchen features 42-inch White cabinets, solid surface countertops, and brand new stainless steel appliances. A updated spacious full bath includes a tub/shower combo, while the large basement offers additional living and storage space, a half bath, built-in shelving, and a Cedar-lined closet, a gas furnace and hot water heater. A brand new Speed Queen washer and dryer set and double utility sink is also included. Additional updates include a brand new roof with a 10 year warranty, replacement windows, and the entire interior and exterior were just professionally painted, making this home truly move-in ready. The fenced and gated backyard is ideal for pets, kids, gardening, or entertaining. This home offers abundant storage and closet space across all three levels and is just steps from Hetzell Playground, Adaire Elementary School, Palmer Park, Palmer Doggie Depot, and Fishtown's best restaurants, bars, shops, cafes and music venues.
