Welcome to this substantial brick Georgian nestled in the wonderful Whispering Oaks neighborhood. Lovingly cared for by the same family for 51 years, this cherished four-bedroom home offers timeless character, generous space, and endless potential. The light-filled family room is graciously sized and features a beautiful fireplace. The formal dining room is perfect for entertaining and everyday gatherings. The charming kitchen offers abundant space, including a sunny bay window ideal for a breakfast table overlooking the yard and features a door into the new patio for seamless outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, all complemented by generous closet space. The basement boasts high ceilings, a large recreation room, and ample storage-providing flexible space for hobbies, work, or play. Set on a lovely nearly 1/2-acre lot, the property is adorned with mature trees and a newer patio, creating a peaceful and private backyard retreat. The home sits attractively set back from the road with an expansive front lawn and includes a three-car attached garage. Ideally located within walking distance to Cherokee Elementary School and Waveland Park, and just minutes from the train and town, this is a wonderful opportunity to make a truly special home your own.
