Stunning Pennsport top-to-bottom rehab! Every floor, ceiling, and wall was reframed, insulated, rewired, and redone with no stone left unturned. 313 Mercy Street is not your typical renovation with features like solid oak hardwood floors/stairs with custom iron railings, solid-core two panel designer doors with top of line hardware, custom wood cabinetry, marble basket-weave backsplash, casement windows, and recessed lighting throughout. Enter the new front door into a wide open living room drenched with natural light thanks to the huge casement windows. Seamless white oak flooring leads you into the chef's kitchen featuring Frigidaire Gallery SS appliances, a range hood, and a 36" French door fridge, surrounded in quiet-close shaker wood cabinetry and contrasting dark granite countertops. The full-lite patio door leads you to a newly poured large rear concrete patio and the new stucco exterior. The custom iron railings lead you up the stairs to the large 3-piece designer bathroom which features a designer vanity and matching mirror, white subway tiled shower with a Moen rainfall shower head, and a large Kohler tub. Down the hall the spare bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, featuring a walk-in closet and a massive window with a view! Continue down the hall and you'll find a linen closet and an ultra-convenient laundry closet with stackable Samsung washer/dryer right outside your master bedroom! The spacious front master bedroom follows with his-and-hers closets, vaulted ceilings, and two large casement windows. Each bedroom is pre-wired for cable TV and ceiling fans. Back on the main floor you will find a coat closet/pantry and basement door leading down to the freshly parged walls housing the new HVAC system, new electrical panel, and of course tons of room for storage, OR you have the option to finish it for additional living space. Other upgrades include: insulated party walls for extra privacy, new hot water heater, new wiring and plumbing, new roof with warranty. With a walk score of 93, 313 Mercy is steps to cafes/restaurants such as The Industry, South Helm, Moonshine, and many others. With estimated yearly taxes under $1,000/year you can potentially own this like-new home for less than you're paying in rent!
