Some homes are special because of the house. Others are special because of the life you'll live there. This Grandview Cape Cod offers both. Lovingly maintained by the same owners since 1991, this charming home has been cared for with pride and is ready for its next chapter. Nestled on one of Grandview's most desirable streets, you'll quickly understand why the owners stayed for more than three decades--the neighbors are wonderful, the location is hard to beat, and just wait for the block party! Around the corner is Boulevard Preschool, and it's only two blocks from the brand-new Grandview Heights Elementary School opening in Fall 2027. Walk, bike, or scoot to The Tap Room, recognized by USA Today as America's Best Beer Bar, the highly anticipated Love, Riley Bakery, and Pierce Field with pickleball courts, ball diamonds, playgrounds, and the beloved annual Ox Roast. Inside, beautiful cork flooring warms the spacious living room, while a first-floor flex room can serve as a fourth bedroom, art studio, or playroom. A full bath on the main level and a dining room that flows into the generous kitchen make everyday living easy. The attached breezeway connects the home to the two-car garage while housing the laundry and utility room--no carrying groceries through the rain or scraping ice before heading out. No basement? That's a bonus. Instead of worrying about damp walls, musty odors, or hearing, 'it only gets a little water during heavy rains,' you'll enjoy a finished, temperature-controlled bonus room above the garage--ideal for a media room, home gym, or office; currently used as a music studio, plus there's even more clean, dry storage above the breezeway. Relax or entertain on the private flagstone patio, and enjoy a yard that's big enough for kicking a soccer ball but small enough that mowing won't consume your weekend. This is your opportunity to own a lovingly cared-for home in one of Columbus' most treasured neighborhoods.
