An exceptionally expansive .368-acre introduces this magnificent home, beautifully updated to include 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, powder room, living room, dining room and den. Spacious foyer with an attractive chequered floor, leads to an open living room with its fireplace as a focal point; a triptych of windows illuminates the space and allow for the transference of natural light throughout! The Dining Room is a natural segue, and it opens to a richly paneled den. Handsome bookcases adorn the north wall. A cheerful breakfast nook adjoins the updated kitchen equipped with electric oven, range and microwave and a farm sink adjacent to stainless dishwasher! Three bedrooms line the east hall in addition to a handsome Powder Room. The Powder Room is lined with dramatic grass cloth walls; a free-floating quartzite counter further accentuates the space! The Primary Bedroom is ensuite with a recently installed tub and shower and custom closet system; the closet circuitously connects to the laundry room for convenience. The Laundry may also be accessed via the Kitchen. Attractive additional bedrooms share a nice bath. The bedrooms are generous in proportions and are accompanied by large closets! A veranda style portico is partially covered; it surveys the rear lawn and pool. An outdoor wood burning fireplace anchors the patio, surrounded by a brick retaining wall. The two-car garage is attached via a short breezeway awning. Floors are lined with a nice epoxy finish! The owner has installed a beautiful pool and spa with a portable security fence. The immense west lawn features a putting green and would make for a great place for a kid’s treehouse or clubhouse! This fine home is perfect as is yet easily lends itself for expansion dependent on one’s needs. Situated in the quiet enclave of Mockingbird Park, adjacent to Highland Park West it is convenient to the many shops and establishments of Inwood Village and Lovers Lane. Highland Park Village is a short jaunt away as well.
