Property Description

Perched up off the street on one of Irvington’s beloved tree-lined streets, this 1940 English Tudor Revival blends timeless architecture with a deep connection to nature. Built by renowned botanist and former Director of U.S. Soil Conservation, John Henry Christ, the home reflects a thoughtful reverence for the natural world that still defines the property today. A tiered rock garden creates a magical approach, with more than fifty varieties of plants and trees offering year-round beauty. Inside, natural light fills the home, illuminating original hardwood floors and a large, welcoming living room anchored by a fireplace—perfect for gathering. The flexible floor plan includes a main floor bedroom or office, 3 spacious bedrooms upstairs with generous storage and California Closets, and a lower level family room with 2nd fireplace, ideal for relaxing, gathering, or play. The restored kitchen pairs classic design with modern function, featuring honed granite counters, a farmhouse sink, and quality appliances. Updated bathrooms showcase beautiful tilework and custom finishes, while central air, a high-efficiency furnace, and updated plumbing provide everyday comfort and ease. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with two private patios surrounded by lush landscaping—perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. All just moments from Irving Park, Grant High School, neighborhood coffee, restaurants, shopping, and easy access to downtown. A home rich in history, character, and natural beauty—truly a special offering in the heart of Irvington.
