This beautifully updated and expanded home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location. Featuring four generously sized bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, it provides ample space for both everyday living and entertaining. The luxurious primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and a private bath, offering a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. A major renovation in 2006 nearly doubled the home's size, bringing in modern updates and thoughtful enhancements. The kitchen, updated in 2014, is both stylish and functional, opening to a large, light-filled great room that's ideal for gatherings. The basement includes a workshop area for hobbies or extra storage, and a finished family room that offers additional living space. Step outside onto the expansive deck and enjoy a beautifully landscaped backyard-an outdoor haven once everything is in bloom. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2019 and dual-zone heating, with furnaces installed in 2006 and 2016 for year-round comfort. The home also features mature landscaping that enhances curb appeal and provides a sense of privacy. A solid brick garage offers durable, ample storage, while a convenient side driveway adds extra parking space. Located just a few blocks from vibrant downtown Downers Grove and the Metra train station, this home offers easy access to shops, restaurants, parks, and commuter routes. With its blend of thoughtful updates, generous living space, and prime location, this is a home you won't want to miss.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
