This charming Cape Cod home beautifully blends modern amenities with vintage character. Gorgeous hardwood floors, original wooden shutters, French doors, and crystal knobs offer delightful glimpses into its history. The updated eat-in kitchen features a stunning new farmhouse sink and a gas fireplace, with windows that frame a lovely view of the backyard. Relax in the comfortable living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, where you can enjoy views of the Wakonda Golf Course alongside your own private oasis. Alternatively, cozy up in the den, where built-in bookshelves invite you to lose yourself in a good book. Each room is adorned with elegant details, making the home uniquely inviting. The grand staircase leads to two spacious bedrooms, each with charming window seats and private bathrooms, plus walk-in closets. Updated bathrooms highlight original tile and light fixtures, adding to the home's charm. The versatile third bedroom can serve as a playroom, rec room, or teen hangout. Set on nearly an acre, you'll appreciate the established landscaping, which includes apple and cherry trees, a seating area, and lovely brick walkways and patio—perfect for gardening enthusiasts. With a brand-new roof, many other updates... and just minutes from the airport and downtown, this unique gem is not to be missed!
