You'll find stunning cathedral ceilings that make the space feel open and light, three bedrooms (two with closets), and a basement that's extraordinarily dry (there's even a convenient extra bathroom down there). The sellers wasted no time addressing some big stuff: main bath replaced top to bottom (2019), new roof (2019), kitchen appliances (2019), furnace and AC compressor (2020), water softener (2021), garage door (2022), whole-house electrical upgrade with surge protection, and a new exterior door on the north side(2025). From here, it's a quick stroll to Ellenberger Park and all your favorite Irvington spots-or a straight shot downtown when you must. Solid, stylish, and right where you want to be. All this and priced within reach!
