5419 Wayne Drive

This well-kept brick Community Heights home has classic good looks, playful personality, and so many charming details throughout. A covered front porch featuring a wood beadboard ceiling and sweet scalloped trim along the roofline, leads into a welcoming living room where a large picture window brings in plenty of natural light. Hardwood floors continue throughout, complemented by glass doorknobs and arched doorways, while thoughtful storage includes a coat closet, linen closet and more. From the living room, continue into an especially cute dining room and a kitchen with its original cabinetry, more scalloped detailing, a spacious pantry, and enough room for an eat-in area. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor, and the bathroom may steal the show with its bubblegum pink tub and original mid-century floor tile. Downstairs, the incredibly tidy and dry unfinished basement offers lots of usable space and storage, including additional closets. Out back, a covered patio overlooks the fenced, low-maintenance yard, while a concrete driveway leads to the one-car garage, which gets its own bit of personality with a floral mural. Previously featured on the Benton House Home Tour, this Community Heights home sits on a quiet street convenient to Irvington, downtown and east side favorites. The pops of color make this one especially memorable - you can love it and leave it, or bring your own palette. Underneath it all is a solid, well-maintained brick home with a great layout and plenty to love.
