Remarks

This classic Ivy Hill home exudes charm and character and is a rare find. It has an apartment built over the garage w/ its own address and entry: 1936 5th Avenue. The main house is a lovely split level bungalow w/ 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on the main floor and not to be missed bonus space in the basement. It features dramatic bay windows in the living & dining room, a built-in buffet w/ glass fronted doors, a wood burning fireplace flanked with bookcases, a breakfast nook off the spacious kitchen, and finished storage in the basement. Live in one and rent the other for added income as the apartment offers a full living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bath. The double doors to the living room provides an option to make it a 2nd bedroom or office. Many of the systems have been upgraded over the years. The main house offers updated electrical, copper plumbing and central heat. So much potential on this tree lined street in a convenient location. This property has been virtually staged.
