Professional series appliance package, central island and adjacent breakfast zone, the efficient space excels for today's living. French door view to huge sunny deck and soccer field backyard provide many options for the family or master entertainer. Cathedral ceilings in living room and dining room and masonry fireplace offer a warm semi-formal flavor as the space oozes natural light with picture window view of landscaped front lawn overlooking sought-after, tree-canopied, Glendale Avenue sidewalk. Owner's suite on main features French doors onto deck as well as generous walk-in closet and luxury private bath. 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are more casual yet en suite for privacy. 1/2 bath plus spacious dedicated laundry room round out the main floor living space. Alas, the teen's suite basement with 4th bedroom suite rocks a media room/gaming space, recreation room and second kitchen with a real 2 car garage & flat cement parking pad (big enough for basketball or pickleball), this house packs a punch. Finally, everyone adores the central neighborhood location, with sidewalk stroll to Decatur Square & private park entrance. Rare opportunity to own an oversized mid-century home nestled in the heart of prestigious Glenwood Estates. Contemporary balance melds true-nature with the comforts of today's living.
