Welcome to 3038 Mercer Street, a three-bedroom, one-bathroom rowhome located in Philadelphia's Port Richmond neighborhood! Enter through the bright yellow front door into the 14ft wide living room accented by an updated staircase with a recently replaced wooden banister and the included gas fireplace. Beyond the living room sits a bright dining area which flows directly into the kitchen. The well-appointed kitchen features 42-inch cabinets, granite countertops with a center island, and a stainless steel appliance package. Off the kitchen, a brand-new sliding glass patio door opens to a large rear patio that offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and get-togethers. Upstairs, the previous carpeting has been replaced with hardwood flooring throughout the hallway and all three bedrooms. Each of the three bedrooms is equipped with its own ceiling fan and built-in closet space, the largest of which sits at the front of the property with two large windows, allowing for great natural light. A full, updated hallway bathroom completes this level, and the secondary rooms easily transition into a dedicated home office or guest space, depending on your needs. Additional functional space is located in the partially finished basement, making it a great option for an office or play space. The rear of the basement is unfinished and houses the washer/dryer and additional storage. The home's location places it within walking distance or a short drive of Port Richmond’s most highly rated local businesses. Residents are just blocks away from neighborhood staples like Tacconelli’s Pizzeria, ReAnimator Coffee on Richmond Street, Stock’s Bakery, and Czerw’s Kielbasa. Commuting is equally convenient, with quick access to I-95 for direct routes into Center City, multiple bus routes, and proximity to the dining and retail districts of neighboring Fishtown are easily and quickly reachable.
