HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS DUE BY THURSDAY AT 12PM. Just a half block from Cherokee Elementary School, this 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath Colonial in Whispering Oaks offers a great layout and expanded first floor. Set on a beautifully landscaped 0.46-acre lot, the main level features a generous living room, formal dining room, a newer eat-in kitchen with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances, a large family room with fireplace, a private first-floor office overlooking the backyard and deck, and a mudroom with laundry. A full bath adjacent to the office provides added versatility for guests or potential first-floor living. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms include a primary suite with private bath featuring double sinks and a large walk-in shower, and a shared hall bath with double sinks and a tub/shower which serves the three additional bedrooms. A finished basement includes a recreation room, wine fridge, play room, cedar closet, plus two large storage rooms with built-in shelving. In addition to other updates, the roof was replaced in 2020.
