Unwind in the comfort of this expansive 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath ranch home boasting 2,753 square feet of single-level living. Bathed in natural light, the open floor plan provides a wonderful flow from the gourmet kitchen - with stainless steel appliances, and granite counters - to the cozy family room. Enjoy gatherings in the spacious living room with a fireplace and built-ins, and entertain in the dining area with wall-to-wall sliding French doors and windows overlooking the patio and yard. Gleaming hardwood floors grace most rooms, while the serene primary suite boasts an updated bath with heated floors. Two additional bedrooms with a shared bath offer are perfect for family or guests, while the versatile office or fourth bedroom adds flexibility to suit your needs. The finished lower level provides ample space for work, play, and storage. Highlights of some of the recent updates include a new roof, gutters, downspouts, and garage door in 2023, and a renovated kitchen in 2018. Nestled on a 0.37-acre corner lot in the sought-after H.O. Stone neighborhood, this quiet location is just a leisurely stroll to Waveland Park or nearby Cherokee School.
