This rare 2 bed, 1.5 bath home in the heart of New Albany offers the perfect mix of character, comfort, and community. Located on the sought-after 1900 block of Ekin Avenue, it features a wide front porch with a swing, overlooking blooming phlox and the original concrete retaining wall. The real wood siding maintains its historic charm, and the roof and dormers were replaced less than two years ago. Inside, tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, transom windows, and classic trim showcase the home's vintage appeal. The living and dining rooms include window nooks ideal for reading or storage, and a decorative fireplace adds a welcoming focal point. The kitchen is bright and efficient, opening directly to the backyard for easy indoor-outdoor flow. A main-floor bonus room offers flexibility as an office, nursery, or creative space. Upstairs, the vaulted primary bedroom features exposed beams for added charm. The unfinished, waterproofed basement provides clean, usable storage, while a two-story garage or shed adds even more space. The private fenced yard includes three gated entries, a patio perfect for outdoor gatherings, and a 20-foot raised garden bed prepped with organic materials. Walk to nearby schools, restaurants, and the Ohio River Greenway. This is a special opportunity to own a home full of charm in a tight-knit neighborhood.
