About 1425 Park Ave

This summer you could be settled in to this stunning Cape Cod home just steps from Wakonda, which reopens in June. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. Original wooden shutters, French doors, and crystal knobs and so much more! You'll want to spend all your time in the comfortable living room where you have a lovely view of Wakonda Golf Course AND your own beautiful backyard. Or tuck yourself into the cozy den and choose a book from the built-in bookshelves and lose the day reading. Each room's elegant details make it delightfully unique. Updated eat-in kitchen with a beautiful new farmhouse sink, gas fireplace, and windows that show off the great backyard view. Up the grand staircase are two large bedrooms, each with adorable window seats, and their own private bathroom with a walk-in closet. The baths have a fun mix of modern updates with original tile and light fixtures. The third bedroom could be versatile and used as a playroom, a rec room, or the perfect hangout for teens. If you prefer to spend your time outside, there's even more to love here. Sitting on almost an acre, you'll love the established landscaping and seating areas. The brick patio, trellises, and wood shingle roof are so charming! Enjoy an evening on the deck, under the gazebo, picking apples or cherries from the mature trees. This space is a haven just minutes from the airport and downtown.
