About This Home

As of June 2018

A most desirable location is where you'll find this absolutely charming home within walking distance of Elmhurst City Center at the end of a cul-de-sac and next to almost an acre of one of Elmhurst's "green" areas. Hardwood floors refinished throughout home Feb '14. New dishwasher installed Jan '15 and new hot water heater in July '15. Features include original wide trim, 7.5" baseboards, crown molding and granite countertops. The 1st floor family room w/skylights & vaulted ceiling lends to year round entertaining and also leads to the back deck. The lower level is partially finished with a laundry area and a 22' x 13' bedroom with its very own full bathroom. The rest of the 40' x 23' basement is used as storage and work area. The current garage is 21' x 15', however upon asking the Building Dept of Elmhurst the parameters appear to allow for a 2 car garage behind the house (within set-back limits) - window shades stay - accessory draperies do not stay. Driveway sewer inactive
