The open-concept floor plan offers an ideal blend of formal and informal living spaces, including a separate dining room, spacious living area with a gas fireplace, and a gourmet chef's kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a large center island. A breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen opens onto a generous deck, perfect for al fresco dining or relaxing while enjoying the view of the deep backyard. Upstairs, the entire second level features vaulted ceilings throughout, enhancing the sense of openness and light. The primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a spa-inspired bathroom, including a soaking tub, dual vanities, separate shower, and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the second level with comfort and flexibility. The finished lower level includes a large recreation room, full bath, and a private guest suite, ideal for extended stays, multigenerational living, or remote work needs. The home's location is not only walkable to town and train, but also close to a variety of local parks, bike paths, and walking trails, including the nearby Ebersold and Gilbert Park with access to the Downers Grove trail system-offering excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation. Residents benefit from access to highly rated public schools, including Hillcrest Elementary, Herrick Middle School, and Downers Grove North High School-each known for their strong academics and community engagement.
