402 Mercer Avenue, Old Town
$1,675,000
Sold. Ask Wade what else is like it.
1896, wraparound porch, original fir floors.
Built in 1896 for the town's first doctor, 402 Mercer has had four owners in 130 years. The porch wraps two sides and faces west, so it holds the sun until dinner. Inside you'll find the original fir floors, a front staircase with its newel post intact and pocket doors that still slide. The work you can't see was done in 2014: new wiring, new supply lines and a gas boiler feeding the old radiators. The 4 bedrooms are upstairs. The kitchen is at the back and opens to a fenced yard with two apple trees and a carriage garage on the alley. It sold in March 2026, after 9 days on the market.
