This Ivoryton Classic Victorian was built in 1872 by the Comstock Cheney & Co for one of the Cheney family members. Steeped in history, this charming 3 bedroom home has had major renovations over the last 2 years and they have updated the mechanicals, the roof, many new windows, new gutters, new gas fireplace, new full bath & laundry with sliding barn door, new den with tile floor, an incredible bright white kitchen with GE Cafe appliances and island. The home's interior is all freshly painted and has high ceilings and beautiful wood floors up and down. The outdoor spaces will warm your heart. First a front porch with a large landing to sit and enjoy the activities of the village. Next a side veranda with a porch swing to while away the hours and plenty of room for a game of checkers. Then there is a new bluestone dining patio off the kitchen and a private firepit area with a stone retaining wall that makes a charming back drop to the yard. But there is plenty of room to expand the outdoor space as the land travels up behind the house up towards Summit St. A simple 1 car garage gives you storage space and an ample paved driveway gives you lots of parking. Lots of extras to see, built ins, fabulous window treatments that stay, and a warmth of yesterday that has to be experienced. This location is perfect for walking to town, the library, theater and restaurants. Ivoryton has a robust farmers market and festivals throughout the year.

Circa 1870 Samuel Cheney house. Samuel Cheney was brother of Arthur Cheney one of the two main principals in the ivory company from which the village derives its name. Victorian home with wood shingle exterior, this home seems to be quite solid structurally but will need renovations. The furnace is new, driveway paved within last several years. Great architectural appeal on both exterior and interior. First floor bedroom with its own outside entrance might work as an in law arrangement. Ample room sizes and good traffic flow upstairs and down. Walk to Ivoryton Playhouse, restaurants and library.
