This picture-perfect Cape Cod home blends charm, comfort, and unbeatable convenience in the heart of Brookfield. Boasting a classic brick exterior and a fully fenced backyard with a 6-foot privacy fence, this home is made for outdoor living. Enjoy evenings on the covered back deck, gather around the circular paver brick patio with built-in firepit, or take advantage of the 1.5-car detached garage. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting layout with hardwood floors, abundant natural light and a thoughtful circular floor plan. The updated eat-in kitchen features maple cabinets, stone countertops, a new subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances. The first floor offers an updated full bath and a convenient bedroom, while the second floor includes two spacious bedrooms. The finished basement adds even more living space, with a cozy family room featuring built-in display shelves, a rear mudroom with exterior access, a second full bathroom, and a laundry/storage room. Recent updates by the previous owner include a newer furnace, AC and sump pump. Just steps to downtown Brookfield's restaurants, shops, salons and bars. A 1/2 block to the BNSF Brookfield Metra stop, near Kiwanis Park and kayak launch to Salt Creek. Around the corner from Creekside Park and the renowned Brookfield Zoo. This is the perfect blend of charm, updates, and location. Don't miss your chance to call it home!
