Location, Location, Location with this Beautiful, Updated Waveland Park home! Come look! The curb appeal this home offers is obvious the minute you drive up! The retaining walls and driveway are all new in the last 5 years. New stairs invite you to a front porch perfect for morning or evening beverages or just quiet relaxation time. You may just want to stay there, yet you MUST see the inside! Amazing hardwood floors greet you at the front door and glisten through the entire main level. A spacious living room, complete with fireplace, and bathed in warm sunshine from ample new windows, leads seamlessly to your fully updated kitchen! Two generously sized bedrooms, a recently updated full bath and a huge “bonus” room complete the main level. Seriously, the “bonus” room could be another bedroom, office, workout space … you choose!! The lower level will surprise you! For starters, there is a third bedroom, currently used as an office, a spacious family room and an updated ¾ bath. Beyond that, there is a Laundry room with good storage space, another huge storage/work room and access to the garage! Oh, we’re not finished … let’s go outside! Step through the new sliders, off the kitchen, to get to the inviting deck or, just a few steps away, to the fabulous paver patio in your private, fully-fenced back yard! Updates? Roof 2015, HVAC & Full Insulation 2022, Garage Door 2023 and Exterior paint 2024! The only thing missing is YOU!!
