EMERSON HEIGHTS BUNGALOW // Welcome to 1920s charm and the modern updates you've been searching for. From the street, you will love how this stone home sits atop a hill with a charming pine out front. Choose from driveway (rare for the neighborhood) or garage parking (2-car). You will completely relax on your front porch that looks onto Riley Ave, the most idyllic street complete with center median and mature trees. You will geek out over the spacious rooms. Living, dining and updated kitchen are perfection. Original and stunning hardwoods flow from living/dining into your hall and two bedrooms (one featuring a walk-in closet). New sewer line, mostly new windows and other updates await you. A .3mi/7min walk to Ellenberger Park in Irvington.
This home has just gone through a beautiful transformation. The hardwood floors have just been refinished, new windows installed, fresh paint throughout, new water heater, new 100 amp service and electrical wiring, new furnace components, new garage doors and a new kitchen with all new cabinets, countertops, tile flooring and Samsung stainless steel appliances. Two car garage with one door opening to the alley & the other to the front.
