Welcome to 225 Academy Ave, a beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath bi-level home with generous living areas, a versatile floor plan, and a serene setting on a desirable wide corner lot. Surrounded by established trees and facing a wooded backdrop, this home provides a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining within walking distance of Woodbury Heights Elementary School and the newer playground. Step inside through the welcoming foyer, where the sun-filled interior and hardwood flooring create a bright and inviting first impression. Up a few steps, the spacious living room features three oversized windows that fill the room with sunlight, complemented by recessed LED lighting. The open-concept layout flows into the dining area and kitchen, creating an ideal landscape for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features modern off-white oak cabinetry, newer champagne bronze hardware, white quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a crisp subway tile backsplash. Luxury vinyl plank flooring adds warmth and practicality, while large windows overlook the yard and bring in abundant natural light. Generous storage and ample workspace make this kitchen both functional and thoughtfully designed. Just beyond the kitchen, a sliding glass door leads to the home's expansive upper-level roof deck, which stretches across the back of the home and overlooks the side and rear yards. Perfect for summer barbecues, outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, the deck also connects directly to the primary bedroom through French doors. Step outside with your morning coffee or enjoy the changing seasons from this elevated outdoor retreat. The property also boasts a very sizable fenced in backyard, providing plenty of room for gardening, play, gatherings, or relaxing outdoors. Down the hallway, you'll find a coat closet, linen closet, and pull-down attic access for additional storage. Three nicely sized bedrooms, including the primary bedroom, are located on this level, each with comfortable closet space. An upgraded full bathroom features a rich contemporary dark-blue double vanity with a white stone countertop, wide white tile with subtle gray veining flooring, and a shower/tub combination finished with sleek white subway tile. The lower level adds valuable living space, including a well-proportioned family room currently being enjoyed as a kids' playroom. Featuring laminate flooring and a wood-burning fireplace, this space could easily serve as a family room, playroom, media room, game room, or entertaining area. Direct access to the fenced in backyard adds to its versatility. A separate fourth bedroom provides added privacy and flexibility for guests, a home office, or a family member. A conveniently located half bath is also found on this level. Also on the lower level is a laundry/mudroom with the furnace and hot water heater, along with a small storage area for cleaning supplies and household essentials. Just off the laundry/mudroom, a door leads to the deep one-car attached garage, which provides room for more storage and a workshop area.
