About this home

Five years ago, the current owners walked into 54 Merrill and thought “Hmm, good bones, great neighborhood, loads of potential!” Thankfully, they had a vision which they thoughtfully and meticulously put into place. Keeping the charm and character was important to them as they redesigned the floor plan and transformed the home into the perfect space for their family. The heart of this home is truly the warm and inviting kitchen/dining area with beautiful cabinetry, granite, and high-end appliances and finishes. This main floor also includes a fireplaced living room, lovely sunroom area, and new ½ bath. Upstairs, you will find 3 bedrooms, including the primary with ensuite ¾ bath. An additional full bath, separate laundry room, and walk-up attic complete this level. The versatile lower level is great for a home gym, play space for the kids, extra storage and access to the level fenced in back yard. Conveniently located on the Belmont line in the desirable Cushing Square/Oakley CC area.
