Description

Discover the epitome of charm and care in this delightful bungalow with over 2,600 SqFt of finished living space nestled in the serene Deer Park neighborhood convenient to parks, dining, entertainment and more. Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with a finished lower-level and attached garage. From the front steps to the relaxing, fully-fenced and landscaped rear yard and patio, you will feel the urge to make yourself right at home.
When you enter from the full-length covered front porch (which has an incredible park-like view of the field and trees across the street), you will step into the living room with beautiful hardwood floors adorned with inlays, a welcoming fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, and elegant crown molding that runs throughout the first floor. This home exudes warmth and character at every turn, and has loads of updates. The beautiful floors continue through the formal dining room, complete with a bay window and cozy bench seating with custom cushion, and offers a perfect setting for memorable gatherings. Along with a thoughtfully laid-out kitchen with breakfast room offering plenty of counter and cabinet space and stainless appliances, the first floor also features a conveniently located bedroom/home office, and the first of THREE full bathrooms showcasing a classic tub-shower combination, tiled floors and a pedestal sink.
The 2nd floor was fully updated in the summer of 2016 with new carpet and flooring, additional insulation and attic access, and includes a primary bedroom with two double closets and a third walk-through closet with wood shelving cubbies, a fully renovated bathroom featuring a luxurious walk-in shower with wall tile, mosaic shower floor, and tall vanity with white countertop. The upstairs hallway is hardwood and leads to two additional generously sized bedrooms complete with large closets and alcoves, ensuring comfort and versatility for family or guests alike. Supplemental air conditioning units are available to keep things cool and comfortable during even the hottest days of summer, and will remain.
The finished lower level expands the living space even further. Enjoy the great room with built-in shelving offering additional storage and flexibility, a lower-level bonus room featuring stylish vinyl plank flooring and large closet – ideal for a home office or recreation area – the third full bathroom with tub/shower combination, a laundry room, and additional storage space. The lower level also provides access to the attached one-car garage.
Step outside to your own private fully-fenced oasis and enjoy the relaxing deck (rebuilt in 2019) that overlooks a spacious patio surrounded by mature and thoughtful landscaping. The metal gazebo with T.V. (all to remain) offer a wonderfully shaded place to enjoy some peace and quiet, an outdoor movie, or to gather with friends.
Recent updates include basement waterproofing in 2022 (transferable warranty), new AC in 2020, and a new water heater in 2021. The exterior siding was replaced in 2012. And when the furnace was replaced in 2016, a whole house Aprilaire filtration system was also added.
The front driveway provides space for at least 3 vehicles in addition to the garage. This meticulously maintained bungalow offers a rare blend of historic charm and convenient updates and amenities in a truly wonderful location. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this lovingly cared-for Deer Park home yours.
