Property Description
Welcome home to your spacious 4 BR, 3.5 Bathroom home oasis, located in the highly desired Brighton Meadows Subdivision and Oswego schools, that is ready to entertain and relax. The Home welcomes you into the large, warm foyer which flows into the family room that is ready to be used as you need, whether it be for recreation or as a formal dining room. Follow the french doors into the huge kitchen that features SS appliances throughout including a smart refrigerator, kitchen island with a prep sink, large eat-in area, and plenty of cabinets for ample storage. The adjacent living room features large windows to let in the natural light and a fireplace, just in time for winter around the corner. A large coat room with laundry hook-ups and a half bath round out the main level. Head upstairs to find 4 generously sized BRs and 2 full bathrooms, including the Primary Suite that boasts vaulted ceilings, 2 walk-in closets, a large exercise/den area and a private Primary Bathroom that features double sinks, jetted tub and separate shower with dual shower heads. The finished basement is ready to impress with its large recreation area that showcases a beautiful wooden mosaic bar, a full bathroom, a separate room that would be a perfect home theater, gym, office, craft room, storage, etc and a second "speakeasy" stairway back upstairs. A huge, 3-car heated garage is ready and waiting for your next project! The backyard is the definition of home oasis boasting an above ground pool with a huge deck, fire pit area, grilling area, separate mulched play area with a trampoline and playset that are staying, storage sheds to hold your pool and lawn equipment and a huge, wide open side yard to run around in. So close to schools, shopping, parks/paths, and so much more!
