Future homeowner:
My name is 159Mercer, and I am looking for a new family that would take me in and call me home. I am an exquisitely renovated and meticulously maintained Colonial in the tight-knit Tuxedo Park neighborhood of South Orange with a storied history dating back to 1927.
I believed I was the forever home for the current owners. They were transplants from NYC looking for “the” home that fit their needs around location, lifestyle and a community that is warm and welcoming.
My location needs no introduction and my proximity to NYC is highly desirable with the town jitney picking you up from around the corner. #Easy
The current owners were fortunate to beat multiple bidders when they bought me in 2018. I had gone through a thoughtful gut renovation that retained my original 1927 Colonial character while modernizing the interiors and floor plan. The current owners made additions that further elevated my “livability” factor. Their goal was to create a seamless multi zone entertaining space that brings the outside inside. No detail was overlooked and was thoughtfully curated with the expectation that I was their forever home. Central AC with new ducting system. Professionally landscaped backyard. Front yard with new retaining walls. Outdoor patio. Fencing for privacy. So many more to name. #outdoordream
Tuxedo Park is a tight-nit community that is diverse, inclusive and welcoming to all. I am lucky to be in this part of South Orange with neighbors looking out for one another. #Together
As with all things in life, plans change, we adapt and move forward. The current owners are sad that they have to put me back up for sale. We have shared so much love, laughter and
togetherness. I am looking forward to writing the next chapter of 159Mercer and finding a new family that is willing to make me their new forever home.
Sincerely,
-159 Mercer
