Public Remarks: Charming Cherokee Gardens cape cod with many recent updates in the last 2 years including an unbelievable new open kitchen and cheery finished basement. Wonderful location on a well-landscaped lot and a 1/2 with a level backyard and private terraces. The quaint foyer leads to a spacious living room with bookshelves and fireplace and then to a large family room w/ a 2nd fireplace, window seat and rear stairs to the master suite. The flow is perfect for entertaining with a gracious dining room that exits to the rear terrace and also to the gorgeous kitchen! Remodeled in 2017, the design is so very functional with huge center quartzite island, white wood cabinetry, beautiful stainless appliances- Technogas Superiore 6 burner + griddle range w/ dbl ovens and full size refrigerator and freezer all overlooking the backyard. The 1st of 4 BR's is on the 1st floor with a full bath. Upstairs, the master suite and bath has incredible space with a double vanity, separate shower and commode room plus 2 large walk-in closets. 2 additional bedrooms and full bath complete the 2nd floor. The basement has access from both the house and the garage and is perfect for a 2nd family room/office and lots of unfinished storage including a light and bright laundry room and partial bathroom. Beautiful hardwood floors, replacement windows and so much natural light throughout, recent replacement of furnace/ac too.
