This charming home has been completely updated inside and out. You will find gracious entertaining spaces on the main level including a white kitchen with breakfast room and wet bar, which easily flows to the living room, family room, and bluestone patio. There are four spacious bedrooms on the upper level, and a fifth bedroom or office in the finished basement. This home has been expanded on the second level, and the garage was completely replaced and now enjoys a massive, pleasant attic space. The roof was just replaced last month, and the siding is James Hardy Board. This home has been meticulously cared for and the list of features and updates is extensive! This home is located in a special setting within the H.O. Stone neighborhood which enjoys the lower property taxes of West Deerfield Township. It is also just steps to the footbridge over the creek to Waveland Park and Cherokee Elementary School.
