About This Home

As of September 2021

Welcome to this wonderful and hard-to-find 4 bedroom split level situated on a quiet tree-lined street in a wonderful central Downers Grove location. Many updates throughout the home including updated flooring with hardwoods in all 4 bedrooms, premium vinyl on the first floor and lower level office, and new carpet in the lower level recreation room. The kitchen has been updated with light gray shaker-style cabinetry, new granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. Freshly painted throughout. Outside we have an oversized detached 2-car garage, large patio, and fenced-in professionally landscaped yard. The home is within walking distance of the Downers Grove Swim & Racquet Club and nearby Patriot Park. Just down Fairview from the Metra Station and just a mile away from downtown Downers Grove.
