About this home
EVER DREAMED OF OWNING YOUR OWN "BRADY BUNCH"-STYLE HOME? HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY! Welcome to a truly distinctive, all-custom-built, California-Inspired Mid-Century Modern Ranch, offered for the first time on the market! Built in 1968, this expansive 3,116-square-foot residence captures the architectural character, design & spaciousness that make mid-century modern ranch homes so desirable. If you've been searching for something with personality, architectural interest, solid construction & incredible potential, this is the one you've been waiting for! The moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the design & contemporary feel of this home. A welcoming foyer opens to an exceptionally spacious floor plan featuring soaring vaulted ceilings in the living room, kitchen & dedicated office. 3 generously sized bedrooms, plus a separate office with the versatility to serve as a potential 4th bedroom, provide plenty of room for today's lifestyle. The living room showcases a brick fireplace, while hardwood flooring in the bedrooms adds warmth & character. The large kitchen, distinctive interior atrium & thoughtfully designed living spaces reflect the custom craftsmanship & architectural vision that went into this one-of-a-kind home. And the space doesn't stop there! An enormous FULL unfinished basement offers a tremendous opportunity to expand your living space, create a recreation room, home theater, workshop, fitness area, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. Even more exciting, the basement features its own separate exterior access, creating wonderful potential for an in-law arrangement, multigenerational living, or a separate living area with added privacy & separation of spaces. This is a basement with room to dream & possibilities to explore! Now let's talk about the setting! Situated on a gorgeous corner lot of over half an acre, this property features mature landscaping & the kind of established surroundings that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Located in the Prestigious Woodridge Estates subdivision, this home offers an exceptional combination of neighborhood charm, convenience & highly acclaimed/ award-winning schools (Goodrich Elementary, Thomas Jefferson Junior High & Downers Grove North High School). Conveniently close to the train, Seven Bridges, Meadows Pool, golf courses, restaurants & shopping. The location truly cannot be beat! Minutes to I-88 and I-355 & I-55, Benedictine University, North Central College, downtown Lisle & downtown Naperville, you'll appreciate the accessibility to everything this wonderful area has to offer. HERE'S WHERE OPPORTUNITY MEETS VISION! This home is ready for its next chapter. It needs updating & renovation, but the fundamentals are here: exceptional custom construction, an expansive floor plan, architectural character, an incredible lot & a location that is hard to duplicate. Bring your imagination, your contractor & your vision. Invest some sweat equity & transform this special property into the mid-century modern showpiece it was always meant to be. With the substantial custom construction, space & architectural character already in place, you can focus your investment on the interior renovation & finishing touches that will make this home uniquely yours-a custom-designed home tailored to your dreams & lifestyle, without the expense of building new from the ground up! Equally appealing to owner-occupants, contractors, professional renovators & investors looking for an exceptional equity opportunity with tremendous upside!
