About This Home

As of July 2020

PRICED TO SELL!! This is a great opportunity in a wonderful Downers Grove. Conveniently located near shopping, schools, train, parks and expressways! This is a three-bedroom ranch home with a full finished basement with plenty of storage and access to the back yard. It has a nice size living room with a large front window. There is hardwood throughout the main level except for the kitchen and bathroom. The second and third bedrooms have ceiling fans. The detached 2-1/2 car detached garage is a mechanic's or woodworker's dream work space. This is a great starter home and good opportunity to stop renting!
