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.

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!
