About this home
Set within the sought-after Muirwood subdivision of Glen Ellyn, this fully renovated ranch home blends elegant design with exceptional function across a sprawling layout. From the moment you arrive, the refreshed exterior sets the tone.

A widened approach, manicured beds, and a covered entry with wood accents provide both style and shelter as you step into this remarkable home. Inside, the home opens into a bright and thoughtfully designed interior where natural light pours in through oversized windows in nearly every room. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main level, creating seamless flow and a warm, cohesive atmosphere. Fresh interior paint, upgraded lighting, and detailed trim work elevate the space while maintaining a welcoming and timeless feel. The living room is generously sized and ideal for both quiet evenings and entertaining guests.
