Do you appreciate quality craftmanship of the 1920s? This well-cared for home is located in the highly coveted Browncroft neighborhood, walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and everyday amenities. Welcome to 148 Merchants Road, where historic charm meets modern convenience. The large covered front porch is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. The exquisite craftsmanship is found throughout the home with custom glass built-ins, gum wood trim, and hardwood floors. Enjoy the gas fireplace in the winter and addition for an office, library, or family room. The formal dining room provides an open flow between the kitchen and both living and family rooms. A partially finished attic adds a bonus room for more space. The exterior of the home had been updated with low-maintenance vinyl siding which was professionally soft washed. Existing plumbing is in the basement for a second toilet/half-bath. Other major updates include: a tear-off roof (2020) on the house and garage with new gutters and transferable 50 year warranty, new furnace (2020), updated windows, and hot water tank (2019). This isn't just a home, it's a lifestyle. Two large outdoor planters (tomato plants) included in sale.
