Built in 1901, this iconic Irvington home stands out with its old-world architecture, wrought-iron gate, charming brick path, street lamp, and stately front door hinting at the history awaiting behind. Inside, hardwood floors, custom shutters, stunning vintage lighting, and richly layered spaces create a home that feels both grand and inviting. The formal front sitting room showcases an ornate ceiling before opening into a dining room wrapped in professionally installed William Morris wallpaper. A second living space centers around a fireplace flanked by built-ins, while the kitchen brings additional charm with its robin's egg blue cabinetry, plus stainless appliances. The full bath and main floor laundry provide additional functionality. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom featuring Victorian built-in wardrobes, a spacious second bedroom, and a classic black-and-white tiled bath with a clawfoot tub and brass fixtures. A third flexible bedroom or office opens directly into a sun-drenched skylit sunroom that feels destined for morning coffee, reading, or an overflowing plant collection. Adding to the property's rarity, the detached carriage house has a private entrance and is set above the drywalled 2-car garage. This impressive space is complete with custom wood floors, skylights, a retro-inspired kitchen with jade countertops, full bath, in-unit laundry, a new mini split, and plenty of room for a living and sleeping spaces. The low-maintenance grounds and expansive drive mean more time enjoying the property and less time maintaining it. Numerous updates have been completed, including new HVAC and improved ductwork, new attic insulation, upgraded electrical, and more. Don't miss this rare chance to become the next steward of one of Irvington's most enchanting properties, all just steps away from Ellenberger Park and downtown Irvington.
