### Agent Description
Location, privacy, and space -this charming Waveland Park home has it all. Situated just off Franklin Ave, you are minutes from local shops, parks, and trails. Inside, the main level boasts gorgeous flow with three bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level is a massive bonus, featuring a second full bath and a spacious layout primed for the perfect man cave or game-day central. Outdoor living is a breeze with a long, double-wide driveway leading to a single-stall garage and an attached deck. The standout feature is the backyard: a private oasis framed by a beautiful tree line, offering a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city.
