Description

Some houses are just plain happy. Set on lovely tree-lined Michigan Street in the very heart of Historic Irvington, this vintage charmer delivers everything people love about the neighborhood: original hardwood floors, a working gas fireplace, inviting spaces filled with natural light and the kind of front porch that practically insists you slow down. With three bedrooms, including one on the main level, and one and a half baths, there’s room for guests, hobbies, a home office or all three. The roomy kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, and thoughtful updates where they matter most mean you can spend your weekends enjoying the house instead of making repair lists. Out back, the new deck overlooks raised garden beds ready for tomatoes, pollinators or whatever ambitious plans spring inspires (and by the time you close in mid-July it’s the perfect season for planting bush beans and squash, and zinnias!) A storage shed keeps the yard organized, while the newer water heater and water softener quietly do their jobs behind the scenes. And then there’s the location. Ellenberger Park, neighborhood shops, restaurants, festivals are just a stroll away. It’s the kind of neighborhood where people walk their dogs, wave to their neighbors and enjoy being outside, especially this time of year! Old-house lovers, this one feels right.
