Floating stairs lead you to the second floor where you'll find two generous size bedrooms with ceiling fans, recessed lighting and 2 full bathrooms with updated fixtures and tile work. The basement is fully finished and offers bonus space that could be used as a family room, den or home office while a designated laundry area and storage closet complete the space. 147 Mercy Street is located in a neighborhood bursting with cultural pride, and convenience to all of the big box stores in the area, sports stadiums and access to public transportation and major roadways like I-95.
