Listing broker remarks

Okay, Merrymount… did someone peek at your dream-home wish list? Because if your list included a prime location, five bedrooms, three full baths, tons of space, a fireplace, a garage, a finished walk-up attic, a fenced-in yard, and loads of old-world charm with modern conveniences… you might want to keep reading.Welcome to this 2,400+ sq. ft. Merrymount home where the wish list just keeps checking itself off. The updated eat-in kitchen leads into a gorgeous formal dining room complete with a built-in china hutch, fireplace, and pocket doors opening to the formal living room/sitting room. Across the hall, a sun-drenched family room steals the show with a beautiful stained-glass window. The first floor also offers a full bath, laundry, mudroom, and covered front porch. And because apparently one staircase wasn’t enough, there are front AND back staircases leading to the second floor, where you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, access to the second-floor porch, and another full bath.Think that’s everything? Not quite. Head up to the walk-up attic and discover even more space, including an additional bedroom, bonus/storage room, and an oversized bathroom. Because apparently this house believes in giving you options. Outside, the dream continues with an oversized garage, paved driveway, fenced-in yard, and swing set.Let’s review, shall we? Merrymount? CHECK Space? ? CHECK Five bedrooms? CHECK Three full baths? CHECK Fireplace? CHECK Garage? CHECK Walk-up attic? CHECK Fenced yard? CHECK Old-world charm? CHECK Modern conveniences? CHECK! So… did you just find the house you’ve been looking for? Guess dreams really do come true. At least for one very lucky buyer.— Tullish & Clancy
