Step back in time with this vintage 1955 home, located just steps from Merritt’s downtown core. With 1,290 sq. ft. on the main and 956 sq. ft. of unfinished basement, this property is a true time capsule, ready to be restored to its former glory. Owned by the same family since 1970, it was once the heart of neighborhood gatherings. Original features remain, from the wood sliding room divider and original kitchen to the retro charm of the living room with its cozy gas fireplace. You can almost picture family gatherings around the kitchen table. The main floor offers 3 bedrooms, 1 updated bath with a double sink vanity and a walk-in shower, a spacious living room, vintage kitchen, and a hobby/office room which could double as a mud room. The basement is an open canvas awaiting your ideas. A single garage with loft storage adds practicality, while the generous lot allows space to build a shop or accessory building. New Nat Gas furnace & HWT 2022. 100 Amp Electrical Panel. Single, wired detached garage. Perfectly situated, this home is just 1 block from the elementary school, Clay Banks Park, and the Coldwater River, a place where children can play and swim all summer long.
