Public Remarks: Rarely available high profile ranch located in the coveted neighborhood of Cherokee Gardens. This residence is on the sought after Altagate Road which is a private no through street. Upon entering one will immediately sense the thoughtful design and quality features of this spacious home. Beautiful hardwood floors adorn much of the first floor. The traditional living room as well as all of the other rooms are large enough to create a variety of living spaces to accommodate today's lifestyle and desires. The banquet size dining room has a lovely bowed window and is perfect for hosting large dinner gatherings and parties. The sun washed eat-in kitchen was updated by the current owner and includes an abundance of timeless raised panel cabinets, double ovens, a gas range with stainless vent hood, microwave and convenient planning desk w/built-ins. To make life easy carry packages directly from the attached two car garage through the laundry/mudroom and right into your kitchen. The family room has a handsome brick accent wall, a wood burning fireplace with shelving and cabinetry on either side. There is also a wet bar, hardwood floors and the ceiling is complemented with wood accent beams. There is direct access to the patio and beautiful back yard from this room. The first floor primary bedroom can comfortably fit a king size bed and accompanying furniture pieces. There is also an ensuite bath with double vanity and separate tub and shower. Down a separate hallway are two additional bedrooms each with a double closet. A full bath with double vanities is located in the hallway to service these two bedrooms. The fourth bedroom is currently being used as a home office and is enhanced with a wall of built-in shelving and a desk. There is a full bath directly across the hall to service this room. That makes a total of 3 full baths and 1 half bath on the main floor. (There is a 4th full bath in the lower level.) With a few simple upgrades the spacious lower level could be transformed into a whole separate living area. As it exists there are multiple living spaces including 2 rooms which could easily be converted into bedrooms, a full bath, and plenty of additional finished space for a family/recreation/gaming/media room. Additional desirable features of this home are a circular driveway, a new roof, charming curb appeal, fenced rear yard, side entry garage, quick access to many casual as well as fine dining establishments, a wide variety of shops to choose from, and easy access to expressways.
