THE SEARCH IS OVER! STATELY 3.5-SIDED BRICK COLONIAL WITH NUMBEROUS UPDATES! This beautiful 5BR/2.5 bath home with loft and partially-finished full basement is situated on a large level lot that is fenced in back. Long level driveway (recently replaced!) leads to the side-entry 2-car garage that enters into the kitchen. The kitchen features granite counters with painted cabinets and updated stainless steel appliances, including a 5-burner gas cooktop, wall oven and micro/convection oven! There is plenty of eating space at the breakfast bar or roomy breakfast area. For more formal events, the dining room is spacious enough to seat 10 or more. This home has lots of character, with detailing that is typical of the era, and isn't found in many modern homes. A recently installed front entry door with iron decor is truly impressive! All other exterior doors and windows have also been replaced! Beautiful Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring is found throughout the main and second levels except for tiled areas - no carpet anywhere! In addition to the main foyer stairway, this home features a rear stairwell for easy access to the main-level laundry/mud room. All bedrooms are located upstairs. The spacious primary suite features a fabulous sitting room and bath fit for a queen! The primary bedroom's spa-like bath has been completely remodeled and is a relaxing escape with a clawfoot tub, chandeliers, travertine tile flooring, a long double vanity with granite and stainless sinks, and a new tiled shower with deluxe shower spray system. At the other end of the upstairs level is a large loft for quiet reading, playroom or entertainment. The daylight basement features an enormous finished media/rec room with 2nd masonry fireplace and additional finished and unfinished storage, and walks out to the fenced rear yard. The possibilities are endless! This is a must-see home in Cherokee Woods East - a swim/tennis neighborhood!
