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.
