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.
