About This Home
As of January 2022Adorable, picture perfect 3 bedroom and 1 1/2 bath home in a fantastic Downers Grove neighborhood!!! Over 2,000 square feet of living space, not including full basement. Loads of charm in front living room with period built-ins and southern exposure, doubling as a home office/workspace. This home has a great flow and the huge family room was the perfect addition, opening up both the kitchen and separate dining room, creating a spacious layout. The family room provides a wonderful gathering place with floor to ceiling masonry fireplace, oversized windows and 2 large sliding glass doors which offer views of the beautifully landscaped yard and the newly rehabbed deck (2021). Hardwood floors under the carpet in living room, dining room, stairs and hallways. Original, solid oak doors in bedrooms and closets. The primary bedroom also has hardwood floors and two large closets. New vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and downstairs powder room. Brand new refrigerator. The attached 1.5 car garage is insulated, has heat and A/C and 2 new garage doors (front and back) which create a "drive through" to original detached garage. The basement has plenty of room for storage, including an original "coal room" in addition to a fully finished room with plenty of possibilities. Roofs are newer with transferable warranty! Back roof and gutter are 3 years old (with 65 year warranty on roof), front roof is 12 years old with a 30 warranty. All but 1 window have been replaced and are still under warranty. All electrical has been recently updated and HVAC is high efficiency & maintained annually. Established neighborhood close to amazing parks (Hummer Park and Barth Pond) and a short walk to Whittier Elementary School. The Fairview Metra Station is a 7 minute walk away, making Chicago so accessible! Downtown Downers Grove is a little over a mile away and arguably one of the best downtown areas in the suburbs with it's own library, post office, movie theater, workout and entertainment venues, as well as top notch shopping and dining and so much more! Sought after schools & ideal location - this is your opportunity to make this home, neighborhood & town your own!
