Welcome to 3553 Mercer St located in the heart of Port Richmond! With a New Low Price! This home was recently renovated and now it is spectacular. If you've been shopping for and looking at other 2 bedroom houses, you'll notice when you step inside to this one, that it is actually spacious. Many 2 bedrooms in the neighborhood can be very small, but not this one. This one is extra wide plus it goes back pretty deep too! There are beautiful new and real solid hardwood floors that were just installed throughout the home. There are two large rooms that are separated by the stairs in the middle. The kitchen is brand new with quartz counters, and includes a Samsung stove and microwave. The refrigerator is also a very nice stainless steel and it is the perfect fit for this kitchen. Beautiful white cabinets. This remodel is crisp. Upstairs you'll find the hall bathroom that is also brand new and was wonderfully redone with quality materials and tasteful colors. There is an extra space in the bathroom that is perfect for adding in any kind of storage shelving or cabinet. The main bedroom is a nice large bedroom size. And what is a really nice feature is that the 2nd bedroom is also a nice usable good size bedroom. Both with closet space. The backyard, in my opinion, is a little bit better than average! Plenty of room to have friends over and enjoy the outside. Table, chairs, and grill and more will be no problem here! There is a bonus I must mention. There is a breezeway to the side of the house, that is not shared with the neighbor, and it runs from the front to the backyard. It is one of the largest breezeways I have ever seen! Its awesome for bikes, trash, and your friends to come and go. I love it. Lets also mention that a New High Efficiency Heater and Central Air was just installed. New Hot Water Heater just installed. The basement is clean, nice, and has a professionally installed sump pump to handle any possible water intrusion. New Roof. Upgraded Electric. This home is ready to be enjoyed for many years without having to worry! Just 5 minutes around the corner to the Betsy Ross Bridge to NJ. A couple minutes to I-95. Ideal location and ideal condition. The garage next to the home is not part of this property.
