Charming Dutch doors lead to both the kitchen and the sun-filled breakfast room, where the built-in cabinetry adds warmth and character.

Completing the main level is a powder room and access to the attached two-car garage. The second level features a spacious primary suite filled with natural light, hardwood floors, dual closets, and an updated en suite bath providing a rare combination of charm and modern comfort seldom found in homes of this vintage. Three additional generously sized bedrooms share a full bath that honors the home's original character. A charming landing with original built-in cabinetry and bookshelves further enhances the home's timeless appeal. Designed for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment, the outdoor spaces are a true highlight. The covered deck overlooks a fully fenced backyard featuring tiered gardens, mature landscaping, and multiple brick and stone patios that create a private, park-like setting. The unfinished walkout basement offers storage and unlimited potential to create additional customized living space with direct access to the backyard. Offering enduring craftsmanship, exceptional outdoor living, and an unbeatable Cherokee Gardens location, this remarkable home is ready for its next chapter.
