Perched high above the street is your own nest tucked away amongst the foliage for wonderful privacy. This is the first time this Irvington classic bungalow has been on the market in almost a half-century having been nurtured, loved and improved making sure it's ready for its next chapter. After ascending the 22 steps you will enter a charming living room with a wood-burning fireplace now with gas-logs flanked by built-ins with hardwood floors carrying through into the formal dining room with even more built-ins. Both rooms are flooded with light from big picture windows. The roomy kitchen has all the function any cook would want and a space perfect for an eat-in area by the bay window to sip your morning coffee. Spread throughout the main and upper floors are 4 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths so there is space for everyone to find their own special spot. The 3 bedrooms on the main allow for lots of flexibility of use whether as cozy bedrooms, a den for lounging or an office for working, one with French doors to the backyard with deck - you can decide what works best for you. For your convenience there is both a full as well as a half bath on the main; definitely not that common in houses of this era. Passing through the 4th bedroom you continue to a Neil Kelly remodeled upper floor with a dedicated office space with south-facing windows for great light. There is also the primary bedroom suite with enough space for a sitting area, bathroom plus a large walk-in closet. The basement can be accessed from inside or the street through the garage and is open and ready for your hobbies, workshop or storage. While the reinforced garage could accommodate a sub-compact car, it is most ideal for bikes, kayaks, sports equipment, yard tools and easy access to the basement. Above the garage in front of the house is a rooftop patio for outdoor entertaining. The neighbors all know each other, do things with and for each other and refer to the block as "Home of the world's greatest folks"! [Home Energy Score = 4.
