Handsome brick Georgian in the wonderful Whispering Oaks neighborhood. This beloved 4 bedroom home has been in the same family for over 40 years and the pride in ownership is apparent in the new primary bathroom with laundry ('24) and the new roof ('23). The generously sized living room is light-filled with a fireplace and doors to the backyard and opens to the dining room. The charming kitchen has ample space for a table in the bay window and opens to the mud room. The first floor also has a cozy paneled den/family room. Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms and two baths, including a recently redone primary bath with a second floor laundry. The basement features a recreation room and ample storage. The lovely 1/2 acre lot is studded with mature trees and has two brick patios in the beautiful backyard. Ideally located within walking distance to Cherokee Elementary School and Waveland Park and just minutes to the train and town. Wonderful house full of opportunity.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
