About this home

This Historic Irvington jewel box on a quiet street will capture your heart and soul the moment you step through the door, from the original hardwood floors to the French doors, the sunshine that fills every space, a two-car garage, and the -- dare we say PERFECT -- kitchen and bath remodel by an acclaimed Indy renovation specialist. Worth mentioning: a clean, freshly painted basement that you will actually enjoy, the antithesis of the dungeon cellar we usually see in vintage homes. Other important updates include *New wiring * New roof, insulation, gutter with new guards 2024 *Air Conditioner 2021 * New Electrical Panel 2020. Perhaps the best testimony comes from the seller. When asked why they have loved this home, they said: "When I was house-hunting, this arts and craft home with hardwood floors quickly piqued my interest. I walked in and it immediately felt like home. Cozy rooms with lots of natural light. Great use if space with flow. Loved the historic charm of the neighborhood, tree lined streets and curvy roads. Walkable to restaurants and shopping. Close to the Pennsy Trail (I'm an avid bike rider.) Dog friendly neighborhood. The neighbors are what makes it especially difficult to leave. They make it feel like a supportive community."
