Property details
About 1527 Mechanic St
Then, ship Captain, William B. Hance, first owned this classic 2 story, 3-bay side-hall home in 1871, at times were called Southern Townhomes or Victorian. Wow, one can only imagine evenings as he blissfully perched high on the upper balcony and delighted by the scent of the salty sea, bay breeze, and sounds of fog horns from the nearby port activity. With the downtown only 3 blocks to the west, it was a convenient stroll to the Strand where retailers sold their goods and the community gathered. Not much has changed in that respect. Although updates have been made to meet today’s lifestyle needs, this home still offers stature boasting an elegant entry, renovated kitchen, re-designed walk-in closet, along with exterior decking and wooden fences. The balcony can serve as your private retreat and that stroll to the Strand is ever so close. The fog horns are now replaced with evermore spirited sounds from 5 (soon to be 6) cruise ships that set sail from less than half a mile away.
