Description

Welcome to 8544 S Essex Ave-an impressive 5-bedroom, 4-bath jumbo brick bungalow home offering over 3,500 sq ft across three finished levels, updated eight years ago and meticulously maintained. A gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a mix of quartz and granite countertops flows seamlessly into a sun-filled family room and out to a patio deck-perfect for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Thoughtful touches include high ceilings on the second level, keyless entry, digital thermostat, and USB outlet plugs in all rooms to keep everyone powered up. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat with double-sink vanity, separate glass shower, whirlpool tub, walk-in closet, and a private deck. The second level features three bedrooms and two full baths on the same floor, plus a second deck for fresh-air breaks. Need flexibility? Use the 4th or 5th bedroom as a home office, fitness room, or guest space. Each floor spans over 1,000 sq ft and includes a full bath for optimal convenience. The full, finished walkout basement extends your living space with an entertainer's wet bar, large recreation area, walk-in laundry room, a bedroom, and a full bath-ideal for movie nights, game days, or multigenerational living. Outside, enjoy a spacious yard and a 2.5-car garage. Set on a quiet block with easy highway access, this home delivers space, comfort, and value!
