Original parquet floors set a warm tone, while wood-paneled ceilings in the dining room and sunroom add distinctive charm. The oversized dining room connects easily to the kitchen and overlooks the backyard, creating a natural gathering spot for meals or entertaining. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, with a tucked-away laundry room that keeps daily chores out of sight.

Upstairs, a flexible open-concept bedroom serves well as an office, studio, or guest space, anchored by a cedar walk-in closet that brings both storage and style. The home’s compact footprint is smartly designed, making every square foot functional and welcoming.

Outdoors, mature trees and established landscaping create a private, cottage-like setting. Multiple seating areas are linked by a stone pathway, while a screened porch and shaded patio invite you to enjoy the yard year-round. A large shed provides extra storage, and driveway parking makes daily living easy.

With 1,138 square feet of living space, this Wheaton Hills Cape Cod offers comfort, character, and convenience in equal measure—ready for its next chapter.
