About this home
Located just one block from Downers Grove North High School and tucked into one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in town, this beautifully expanded 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of modern convenience and timeless vintage charm. Surrounded by stunning, high-end homes and mature tree-lined streets, this is a rare opportunity to own in one of Downers Grove's most desirable pockets. Perched proudly on its lot, the home welcomes you with a freshly painted front porch that sets the tone for the warmth and character found inside. Step into a gracious foyer featuring a coat closet and a cleverly hidden storage room, ideal for keeping everyday life organized. The light-filled living room showcases gleaming hardwood floors and a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light, while the spacious formal dining room, freshly painted, features a charming cut-out to the kitchen, perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The updated kitchen is as functional as it is inviting, offering crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a bright breakfast area complete with extra counter and cabinet space. Fresh, cheerful paint enhances the sunny feel, making this a space you will love spending time in. A main-level bedroom with hardwood floors and a generous closet provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or related living, and sits next to a vintage full bathroom with tub that adds to the home's classic appeal. Just a few steps down from the kitchen, the large family room becomes the heart of the home, featuring two exterior doors, one leading to the driveway and the other opening to the backyard deck, creating an easy flow for indoor and outdoor living. Built-in plumbing for a potential additional bathroom adds even more future potential to this already impressive space. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is highlighted by tray ceilings, a private full bathroom, and a walk-in closet. A few steps above, you will find two additional generously sized bedrooms, one with fresh paint, along with another full bathroom that has also been recently refreshed. A charming loft area offers the perfect spot for a reading nook, while Bedroom Three provides access to a large attic, ideal for all your extra storage needs. The finished basement adds even more living space and functionality, featuring a large open area, an additional full bathroom, and a spacious storage, laundry, and mechanical room with abundant closet space. The basement was recently completely refreshed with fresh paint, a new drop ceiling, can lighting, painted floors, and baseboards, creating a clean, bright, and highly usable lower level. Outside, enjoy relaxing or entertaining on the brand-new Trex deck, overlooking the backyard and leading to the 1-car detached garage. Major recent updates include a new roof, gutters, siding, downspouts, and deck, along with windows replaced within the past 7 to 10 years and a newer furnace, offering peace of mind for years to come. All of this is set in an unbeatable location, just steps from Downers Grove North High School, Herrick Middle School, and Pierce Downer Elementary, and only minutes from Downtown Downers Grove, the Metra train, Ogden Avenue, I-355, and I-88. With its prime setting, thoughtful updates, and spacious layout, this home is truly a rare find and an absolute must-see.
