About this home
WOW! Homes like this rarely become available in Downers Grove! Located in one of the area's most coveted locations, just moments from Whittier School, Patriot Park, Barth Pond, the Downers Grove Swim & Racquet Club, and just a short drive to vibrant downtown Downers Grove, this home offers an incredible combination of space, character, flexibility, and an absolutely spectacular backyard setting. Offering approximately 3,000 square feet of living space including the walk out lower level, this is the kind of property that rarely becomes available. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal and unique design make a lasting impression. The welcoming entryway opens into a bright sitting room featuring a large bay window that fills the space with natural light. The sitting area flows seamlessly into the expansive living space and eat in kitchen, creating an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. Hardwood floors flow throughout the home, complemented by recessed lighting, fresh paint, and all window treatments included. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring stainless steel appliances, custom maple cabinetry, Corian countertops, a double oven, cooktop, pantry cabinet, and the convenience of two sinks for added functionality. Just off the kitchen is a side deck that creates the perfect grilling station and outdoor entertaining space overlooking the yard. One of the home's most desirable features is the spacious first floor primary suite. The thoughtfully designed hallway offers two full hall bathrooms, a versatile office that could easily serve as an additional bedroom, and access to the incredible primary retreat. Featuring vaulted ceilings, a large walk in closet, full en suite bathroom, private balcony overlooking the backyard, and a unique spiral staircase leading to a loft overlooking the bedroom, this space is truly special. The loft area is filled with natural light from skylights and features recessed lighting and newer carpeting, making it the perfect flex space for a reading nook, office, workout area, or lounge. Two additional generously sized bedrooms complete the upper level. The walk out lower level offers even more living space with a spacious family room featuring a charming brick fireplace, unique brick accent walls, sliding glass doors leading directly to the backyard patio, garage access, a half bath, laundry area, and a large unfinished storage space offering incredible functionality and flexibility. And then there is the backyard. Fully fenced and absolutely massive, this park like setting is something you simply do not find very often in Downers Grove. Whether you envision hosting large gatherings, creating the ultimate play space, adding a pool, gardening, relaxing around a firepit, or simply enjoying the privacy and open green space, this yard offers endless possibilities. The patio, mature trees, expansive lawn, and additional storage shed make this outdoor space truly exceptional. A rare opportunity to own a home with this much character, living space, and one of the most impressive backyards you will find anywhere in the area. Live here and make it a wonderful life!...
