Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Riverdale LLC.
Built in 1935 of solid brick, 3242 Irwin Avenue keeps details that are hard to find in newer houses: hand-hewn exposed beams, stained-glass details and hardwood floors. In the living room, high ceilings, exposed beams and plaster detailing sit together, and they're easiest to appreciate in person.
The living room opens to an elevated formal dining room, and the windowed kitchen sits beside it. There's room to build a modern kitchen while keeping the house's original character. A sunroom next to the kitchen adds flexible space, and the washer and dryer there could move to the basement if you'd rather use that room for something else.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom has windows on two exposures and an en-suite bathroom with original 1930s tilework. I'd keep that tile as it is, since it's a detail that gives the room its period character.
The finished basement, reached from the dining area, has newly finished flooring, a full bathroom and a secondary kitchen. It could work as a recreation room, a home office or guest space, with access to the backyard.
Ewen Park is about 3 minutes away on foot, and the 231 St station on the 1 is about 8 minutes on foot. A one-car garage and a private side driveway round out the parking.
