Nestled in the desirable community of Forest Park, this beautifully updated 4-bed, 3-bath home offers a perfect blend of modern amenities and classic charm. Gut-rehabbed in 2017, this brick bungalow welcomes you with beautiful landscaping and a spacious front living and dining room, featuring wainscoting and wonderful natural light. The gorgeous kitchen was expanded in 2019, adding a coffee bar, open shelving and additional cabinet space along with storage lockers in the mudroom, creating the perfect drop zone at the back of the house. A spacious bedroom with large walk in closet, full bath and plenty of storage round out the first level. The 2nd floor is dormered in the back, and provides two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The fully finished basement features newer porcelain tile flooring and offers multiple work spaces, an exercise area, play area, family room, 4th bedroom and 3rd full bathroom! Additional upgrades include a new fence and sump pump installed in 2022. A large deck and wide lot provide plenty of space for outdoor living and entertaining. Parking is convenient with a newer 2-car garage and a bonus parking pad, accommodating multiple vehicles effortlessly. Enjoy city amenities with a small town feel. Expressway, public transportation, schools, parks, pool, dining and shopping; all just steps away from this incredible home!
