    Welcome home to 53 James Street, nestled in Westmont's highly sought-after Newfield Manor subdivision. Built to last with solid brick construction and exceptional 'good bones,' this sturdily crafted split-level home perfectly balances expansive interior living with a seamless connection to the outdoors. The bright main level features an inviting living room, separate dining area, and a bright, open kitchen equipped with ample cabinetry, dedicated desk space, and a casual eat-in area. Sliding glass doors open directly to a wide-open, peaceful backyard that features an entertaining deck and steps right out to a local walking trail. Upstairs houses three good-sized bedrooms with excellent closet storage and a full bathroom brightened by a natural skylight. The finished lower level expands your day-to-day living with a nice family room centered around a fireplace, a full bath, a flexible fourth bedroom, and direct access to the attached garage. But the space doesn't stop there-unwind or expand into the massive, tiled sub-basement! This incredible spacious footprint adds massive square footage, making it the ultimate setup for a home gym, game room, or secondary entertaining zone. Complete with a newer roof and a meticulously maintained HVAC system, this clean home offers unmatched space, function, and peace of mind near Westmont parks, dining, shopping, and commuter lines.
