They say home is where the heart is, and actually home is in Melrose Park Gardens! Welcome Home! This gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, 2 half bath AirLite screams home from curb to backyard. Beginning with the curbside view, you have a large welcoming landscape, that includes a front lawn capped with a beautiful flower garden near the front door. There's also a nice sized front patio space, giving you a wonderful view of your garden in the morning sunlight. Just imagine enjoying cool summer nights on your private patio, which is far removed from the street giving you the privacy and quiet you expect while relaxing at home! Heading in the home through the glass door, you're immediately met by the 1st half bath, which is beautifully updated and ultra convenient for your guests who come to visit! Following into the very spacious living room, you'll notice the beautiful original hardwood flooring stretching from living room to dining room, and each room receives a great amount of natural sunlight in addition to the recess lighting! The dining room also features a coat closet along with a center lighting fixture. The dining room leads into the spacious eat-in kitchen perfect for those family meals together. The kitchen offers a great space and lots of cabinetry storage, and is ready for your personal touch! Right off the kitchen, through the sliding glass doors, you'll see the huge composite deck which is only 5 years old, and includes a remote controlled retractable awning to provide the option for additional shade when needed. The view from the deck is amazing, as it gives you front row seat to the breathtaking sunrise! You'll also notice your additional backyard space, leaving you an option for another garden area, a fenced in yard for your four legged family members, or entertainment space for your guests during the many outdoor events to come! Heading back into the home, heading into the cozy, carpeted finished basement, you'll get to enjoy a great space for a man or woman cave, or even a family room. The finished basement also has recess lighting and even comes with a dimmer to make the basement an ideal place for calm evenings for relaxation! There's also another half bath, complete with a large closet. In addition to that, the basement features additional closets, making storage of seasonal items a breeze! Lastly, you'll find a separated laundry area with a fire door leading into the garage, which also has an automatic door opener! Amazed yet? Well let's head upstairs to the top floor! Here you and your family will retreat to 3 great sized bedrooms, including a large master bedroom, complete with a spacious walk in closet, equipped with a large shelving unit, making closet organization super easy! The master is well lit with natural sunlight, just like every other room, and has a beautifully designed full master bath! The master is also unique, as you'll notice custom lighting fixtures which are on both sides of the bed! And it doesn't stop there, the main hall bath is just as amazing, fully tiled with tub and shower combo, and detailed with beautiful light sconces! The linen closet is just outside of the bathroom in the main hallway, which also gives access to the other 2 bedrooms, which also will not disappoint! This home is ready for you, and also comes with central air, double hung vinyl windows, newer plumbing completed from just 5 years ago, and a 3 year old roof with transferrable warranty! This home is impeccable and has been owned by the same family since 1956! The love and care put into this home will be noticed as soon as you walk in! Get comfortable, you're home!
