About This Home

As of May 2021

Do not miss this wonderful family home! Details include crown molding throughout, hardwood floors, and a large double sided fireplace in the family room. The primary en suite bedroom has french doors that lead to a home office or sitting room/bedroom that has its own entrance to the lower level. The sub basement has a separate entrance that is perfect for any need- a home business, gym, or game room! The large private backyard with a fire pit is wonderful for entertaining and enjoying the quiet outdoors. There's privacy when needed but there's not much to be desired in this great neighborhood of Deer Creek. Voluntary homeowners association with planned activities for adults and children throughout the year. A wonderful location for walking to town and the train, Downers Grove Swim and Racquet Club and the popular Barth Bond and Park! Truly one of a kind family neighborhood!!
