Nestled in the desirable Whispering Oaks neighborhood, this brick Colonial home sits proudly on a corner lot, exuding a commanding presence. Boasting four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, this home offers an expansive 2,910 square feet of comfortable living space. A curved staircase adds an elegant touch to the foyer. Hardwood floors in most rooms create a warm and inviting ambiance throughout. The spacious living room with a beautiful bay window and a wood-burning fireplace, flows into a sunroom that provides access to the patio and a private, fenced backyard. A formal dining room includes a matching bay window. The family room includes built-in shelving on either side of another wood-burning fireplace. An eat-in kitchen offers ample storage space and a sliding glass door opens to the yard, allowing for easy outdoor dining and enjoyment. For added convenience, a first-floor laundry and mudroom are adjacent to the attached 2-car garage which boasts an epoxy floor. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, each featuring hardwood floors and plantation shutters. The primary suite offers double closets, a dual vanity, and a separate walk-in shower. The partially finished basement includes a recreation room and an additional room that can serve as a home office, exercise space, or adapted for other uses. Outside, this beautifully maintained yard and impeccable curb appeal further enhance the allure of the property. A wooded side yard offers boundless possibilities as a serene and secluded space, or incorporate it into the main yard if desired.
