Pick of the Week- Undeniable Charm in Irvington




Hello again! Hope that everyone had a nice long Labor Day weekend. I got a rare chance to actually leave town and visit some some old college friends in Minneapolis. The housing market there seems to be okay, a little slow but there were some nice unique properties up for sale. I was pretty busy having fun so I did not get a chance to go to any open houses, which I enjoy doing in different towns.

Anyway, so I am a little behind in my pick of the week! My pick for this week is a 3BR/1.5BA charming arts & crafts style bungalow with tons of character. It is located in the near downtown community of Irvington and is also in the historic district. The house has almost 2200 square feet and has some great updates. There is a lovely front covered porch that leads you into the living room with wood burning fireplace. Dining room features beautiful wood work which leads you to the recently renovated kitchen. The kitchen was expanded a few years ago, allowing for more space in this all important room and adding a breakfast nook. There are also new hardwood floors in here, stainless steel appliances, and vaulted ceilings. Main floor master leads out to the back deck. Upstairs two bedrooms and full bathroom feature some great extra storage. Basement is unfinished but is a good size and has a workshop area. Probably one of the best things about this home is where it's located- just steps from Ellenberger Park. This home has a huge yard with storage barn and also just got a new roof. Currently priced at $164,900- this is a great price for a home of this size and condition located in this historic area. If you dislike cookie cutter homes and want a house that has beautiful woodwork, fun nooks & crannies, and is updated yet highlights the charming older character- this is the house for you!






The listing agent also let me know that there will be an open house held this Sunday, September 12th from 2-5pm so just send me a message if you would like more details on that.
