About this home
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a charming three-bedroom, two-bath Cape Cod with direct waterfront access to Salt Creek. Ideally situated on a picturesque, tree-lined street, this unique property offers a peaceful natural setting just steps from historic Brookfield's Business District and within walking distance to the commuter train to the city. The lush, fully fenced backyard is a true retreat, featuring an expansive deck overlooking the creek-perfect for morning coffee, entertaining or simply enjoying the serene views. Private steps lead directly to the water's edge, offering the unique opportunity to launch a canoe or kayak from your own backyard. Inside, this bright and welcoming home is filled with character and charm, offering comfortable living spaces and a warm atmosphere. The inviting foyer features a vaulted ceiling and skylight and opens to the sun-filled living room with hardwood floors and windows overlooking the neighborhood. The main level also offers a formal dining room, efficient kitchen, full guest bathroom, comfortable first floor bedroom and a screened-in porch. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms, a second full bathroom and plenty of storage. The partially finished basement adds valuable space and features a versatile office, recreation room and spacious laundry/utility area complete with a workbench, folding counter, cedar-lined closet and direct exterior access. A rare combination of waterfront living, outdoor enjoyment, and convenient access to shopping, dining, transportation and nearby amenities.
