About This Property

Where history meets heart - and opportunity.

Built around 1840, this timeless Hamilton Square colonial sits gracefully on nearly half an acre in the town's historic district. The home's architecture tells a story, pumpkin pine and heart pine floors, horsehair plaster walls, original staircase and newel post, and fifteen-light French doors, each detail preserving the craftsmanship of another era.

As you walk through, you can feel its history in every room, the warmth of the wood, the subtle creak of old floors, and the sense of permanence only a century-old home can offer. Yet behind its vintage charm are modern comforts: a fully renovated kitchen and bath, 200-amp electrical service, direct-vent gas furnace, and abrand-new roof (2024), ensuring the home's legacy continues with ease and reliability.

The third-floor loft is a hidden treasure, bright, open, and filled with potential. Whether imagined as a studio, office, guest suite, or creative retreat, this flexible space adds a new dimension to the home's story.

Outside, the 55x350 lot stretches deep and private, with a deck perfect for gatherings, mature lilacs, and a detached garage with electricity. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, the property opens the door to countless possibilities-live, work, create, or simply enjoy a home that feels like it's always been waiting for you.

38 Mercer Street isn't just a house-it's a piece of Hamilton's history, reimagined for today, and ready for its next chapter.
