27 Dutcher Street

Built in 1906, this navy Victorian sits on a dead-end block that runs right up to Matthiessen Park, one of the most distinctive streets in Irvington. Old trees arch over the road, neighbors know one another, and the river, Main Street and the train are all a short walk away. The house has kept its original character while being thoughtfully updated for the way people live today. The porch is deep enough to actually use, and the rooms flow easily from a gracious entry to a living room warmed by afternoon light and a fireplace. The kitchen faces the garden, and its breakfast nook is the kind of spot where mornings tend to linger. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a full bath share a generous hall, with the primary set apart by its own bay. Below is a full basement, and out back is a fenced yard under a mature shade tree.
