About this home
Rare opportunity on one of Downers Grove's most coveted streets! Set on an exceptional deep lot on highly desirable Gilbert Avenue, this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home offers warmth, character, and a setting that is truly hard to find. Just moments from downtown Downers Grove, the Metra, and Maple Grove Forest Preserve, the home combines everyday convenience with a surprisingly private, nature-filled backdrop. Inside, you'll find inviting sun-filled living spaces, hardwood floors, a beautifully updated kitchen with added storage, and a warm, welcoming feel throughout.

Outside is where this property becomes especially memorable, with an amazing deep lot, detached 2-car garage, patio space, mature trees, and a picturesque creek with footbridge creating a one-of-a-kind backyard setting. Thoughtful improvements over the years include windows, entry doors, updated electrical with circuit breakers, remodeled lower level, rebuilt chimney, and a new furnace in 2026.
