619 Irving St, Winston Salem, NC, 27103

This is a house that announces itself from the street: a generously proportioned covered front porch, classic 1920s proportions and mature trees framing an Ardmore block that’s a short ride or walk to downtown Winston‑Salem. Step inside and the home’s original bones—tall ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors and gracious room sizes—are immediately apparent. The living room centers on a substantial fireplace that anchors both everyday gatherings and more formal entertaining.

Adjacent to the living room, a formal dining room retains period character with built-ins and moldings that cue the home’s era while providing practical storage and display. The bright kitchen has been equipped for modern life: ample cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a layout designed to handle weekday routines. A half bath and practical mudroom area near the rear entry keep daily comings and goings organized and tidy.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms and two full bathrooms continue the theme of light and classic detail. Windows capture views of treetops and the landscaped yard beyond; the generous second-floor footprint gives flexibility for a home office, nursery or hobby room without feeling cramped. Thoughtful built-ins throughout the house offer both charm and utility.

Outside, the property delivers private convenience: a driveway leads to a detached one-car garage and there’s enough yard for gardening, play or future outdoor updates. The mature landscaping and front porch create an inviting setting for front-porch sitting and neighborhood connection. Located in Ardmore and listed at $699,000, this 1926 two-story blends historic character with everyday comfort and proximity to Winston‑Salem’s dining, shops and cultural destinations—an opportunity for buyers who want a walkable, established neighborhood with timeless curb appeal.
