About This Home
As of September 2025Fall in Love with This Stylishly Remodeled 3-Bedroom, 2-Bath Home Backing to Birchwood Pond and Park! Enjoy the perfect blend of comfort, quality, and natural beauty in this thoughtfully renovated home, with Birchwood Pond and Park just steps from your backyard-frequented by waterfowl for a truly serene setting. No detail has been overlooked: newer electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, and doors offer peace of mind. Wide-plank white oak floors, 5-panel solid doors, substantial mud boards, and crown molding create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The open-concept kitchen is a showstopper-featuring high-end white cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, and a spacious center island ideal for entertaining. Both full baths boast marble floors and counters, along with timeless Restoration Hardware St. James vanities. The lower level features a large, light-filled family room with English windows and stunning views. A full concrete crawl space with new sump pump and battery backup provides ample storage. All major systems are under 10 years old, and most appliances are less than 5. Recent upgrades include a new fence, gutters and downspouts, garage door/opener, and front/back screen doors. Located in highly regarded District 61 schools and Downers Grove South. This home is truly move-in ready. You'll love living here! Owner is a licensed Realtor.
