This is it...the perfect opportunity to live in a cozy and sweet cottage that features loads of natural sunlight, hardwood floors, built in cubbies and the fun nooks and crannies only found in a vintage home! It is ready for you to make it your own with updates, an addition or to possibly build new in its prime in-town location that is within blocks of downtown Glen Ellyn, the Prairie Path, Lake Ellyn Park, Ben Franklin Elementary and Glenbard West high school. The 87.5x110 lot provides so many different opportunities in this well loved neighborhood! It is a solid home but is being sold "as is".

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
