About This Home

Welcome to this delightful English cottage nestled on one of Wheaton's most sought-after areas. Brimming with character and modern updates, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and everyday comfort. Step through the brand-new front door into a warm and inviting entryway that leads to a cozy living room featuring hardwood floors, a classic fireplace, and abundant natural light. The beautifully updated kitchen seamlessly connects to the dining room and living area, making it ideal for entertaining. The remodeled kitchen features quartz counters, a modern back splash, farmhouse sink, an exposed wood beam, stainless steel appliances, & a luxury brass faucet & pendant by deVOL Kitchens. Enjoy morning coffee or evening dinners on the spacious deck that overlooks a lush, private backyard-an outdoor oasis right at home surrounded by the vintage character of a stone wall with ivy. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms and a full bath, providing a quiet retreat from the main living areas. The finished basement offers versatile space-perfect for a playroom, home office, or media room-along with a laundry area and ample storage. Additional highlights include an attached one-car garage, tasteful renovations throughout, and an unbeatable location. Just a short walk to the College Avenue Metra station, Wheaton College, and minutes from both downtown Wheaton and Glen Ellyn's shops, dining, and parks. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a storybook home in a prime location!
