English Countryside Designer Cape Cod in the Heart of Fox Point

A Designer Reimagined English Countryside Cape, and a Home Full of First

257 W Suburban Drive is more than a new listing. It’s a showcase of exclusive design, local makers, and a product debut that’s never been seen before.

Powers Realty Group is proud to announce the listing of 257 W Suburban Drive in Fox Point, Wisconsin  a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,900-square foot home that has been completely and brilliantly reimagined by designer Annie Blair of Blair House Design. Situated in the coveted Maple Dale Elementary School District and offered at $990,000, this English countryside cape is as rich in character as it is in modern luxury.

“This is a dream home  and it should not be missed.”

The home’s original character shines throughout: hand-crafted wood built ins, elegant crown molding, two stone fireplaces, cedar shake siding, and a rare pecky cypress walk in closet. The professionally landscaped grounds  filled with mature plantings and trees  complete the picture of timeless charm.

A thoughtful new addition brings the home firmly into the present. The master suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring custom built-ins, a spacious walk-in closet, in-suite laundry, and a spectacular en suite bathroom. Every finish was chosen with intention, and it shows.

The kitchen is nothing short of a dream. A 9-foot island with honed granite anchors the space, flanked by solid wood inset cabinetry with quartzite counters, a Sub Zero refrigerator, and a GE Café Series oven and range. A wood-burning stone fireplace with sitting area and built-in banquette, surrounded by new Marvin windows, makes the space as inviting as it is extraordinary.

The bathrooms mark a genuine milestone in design: every fixture is from Kohler’s Studio McGee collection  and this home is among the very first in the country to feature the line’s newest product, making its public debut here before anywhere else. For design enthusiasts, this is a rare opportunity to experience something truly new.

Step into the dining room and you’ll find another local story worth telling. The walls are dressed in Chasing Paper wallpaper, the celebrated removable wallpaper brand founded by Elizabeth Rees of neighboring Whitefish Bay. What began as a local vision has become a nationally recognized name in interior design and it feels right at home here.

From exclusive product launches to local artisans, from preserved craftsmanship to luxurious modern amenities, 257 W Suburban Drive is a home where every detail tells a story worth knowing.
