About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to this meticulously maintained blonde brick home! These long-time owners of over 30 years are sad to leave, but ready for the next people to enjoy this home. Although this home is located close to schools, expressways, Baker Hill shopping, the Prairie Path, Metra and downtown Glen Ellyn, the back yard feels like a vacation home backing up to the forest preserve. Enjoy sun rises and sunsets while soaking in your backyard hot tub or sitting under the backyard porch that runs the length of the house. Over the years every part of the house has been redone. There is hardwood flooring throughout the entire home and new carpet in the basement. The family room has California shutters and a large stone fireplace to gather around. The kitchen has been updated, and new appliances were added in 2024. The cooktop is electric, but there is a gas hookup if you prefer to cook with gas. The dining room is off the kitchen and opens to the family room. It is the perfect flow for family and entertaining. Upstairs boasts a complete remodel in 2024/25 with a new full bath, baseboards, window casings, closet doors and shelving. One of the bedrooms has access to an outdoor balcony waiting to be finished by you. The basement offers more finished space and new sump pump in 2024. Garage lovers will appreciate the new epoxy flooring, lighting, electrical outlets, drywall, insulation, paint and new side entry door in 2024. When you are enjoying the backyard don't forget to peek into the spacious 8x21 shed attached to the house! Roof is 2016. Don't miss out on this magical home with over 2,317 living space! Showings begin April 3rd.
