As of January 2021

Located in Wheaton but just a few minutes to downtown Glen Ellyn, this georgian built by Gallant Homes will impress you with its incredible space and floor plan.

Offering 4 bedrooms and 3.1 baths, this 3700+ square foot home features 9' ceilings throughout the main floor, vaulted ceilings in the main suite & guest suite and a 20' ceiling in the family room. Extensive crown molding is found throughout the home along with custom wainscotting and a built in book case in the study. The large kitchen is perfect for entertaining as it opens out to the family room and deck and features a closet pantry (with a second pantry down the hall), large granite topped island and a planning desk. The family room offers a wall of windows and french doors that also lead out to the back deck. The family room is further accented by a distinctive two story brick fireplace, built in bookcases, wood ceiling beams and is open to a portion of the second floor hallway. Situated on nearly 1/3 of an acre, there is a sizeable vegetable/flower garden, irrigation system, large deck and fully fenced back yard.
