945 Rue Mercer

Vintage charm meets modern comfort in this updated, single-level home, with garage, blocks from the Railyard. The property sports a ticker tape of prized amenities including plaster walls, exposed beams, wood, bamboo or tile flooring, remodeled baths, a fully-enclosed backyard with mature trees, a gated driveway and 3 mini-splits for A/C. Both good-sized bedrooms have an ensuite or adjacent bath. Banks of windows line one wall of the aptly named sunroom that leads to the heated office or art studio: a charismatic step-into-the-past, with Vigas and original wood floors. A basement, accessed from the backyard, offers space for storage or a wine cave. The previous contractor-owner performed a gut renovation of major systems. The current art conservator owners have applied their talents to significant quality-of-life improvements and to enhancing the home’s historic appeal with a beautifully rebuilt front archway and entry portal. Rich in character and period detail, this popular rental is set at the hub of downtown’s prime destinations, just one mile from The Plaza, and blocks from the Farmer’s Market, Leo’s, La Choza, galleries, groceries and coffee shops.
