What's special

Some homes are built. This one was composed. Like a scene from a movie, this one-of-a-kind 1940 limestone Cape Cod sits on a beautifully manicured corner lot framed by mature trees, steps from UW-Whitewater & historic Starin Park. Inside, character abounds: graceful arched doorways, rich original woodwork, crown molding, charming nooks/details & a stunning staircase, all bathed in natural light. The living room centers on a stone wood-burning fireplace & bay window, while the knotty pine study w/built-ins is a room simply not built anymore. The fully remodeled kitchen is beautifully appointed w/Shaker cabinetry, a Wolf cooktop & wall oven, flowing to a dining room w/French doors to the screened porch. A main-floor primary bedroom, three dormered upstairs bedrooms, a private balcony & vintage tile baths add charm, while the LL offers tons storage or space to grow. Detached 2-car garage connected by a charming stone breezeway. A true storybook setting w/character & comfort inside & out!
