Talk about spacious! Over 5,300 square feet of living space in this 5-bedroom, 3-and-a-half-bath, 2-story Century home in Norwegian Woods. From the side entry 3-car garage on this corner lot, brick-front beauty, you'll love the soaring 2-story entry with gorgeous hardwood flooring and split staircase; the spacious eat-in kitchen with peninsula and bay window, 42" cabinets, and butler's pantry that leads to the formal dining room; all the light that brightens the home via the arched windows, the sunroom addition, and the upgraded lighting; the sunken family room with fireplace; the formal living room; and the first floor office. Upstairs, a master retreat awaits complete with four-piece master bath, sitting room with vaulted ceiling, tray ceiling in the main portion of the master bedroom, dressing area, and huge walk-in closet. Three more generously sized bedrooms, a large laundry room, and a full hall bath complete the upstairs. Then it's on to the basement, much of which is finished. There's a full bath, a bedroom, and a huge family room (in addition to the one on the first floor) which allows for a game area or a home theater or just a private get-away. Beyond the finished area is more room for storage, plus an outside exit. NOTE: This is a short sale and is subject to Seller's Lender's approval. Property is being sold "as-is".
