About This Home

As of July 2024

MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED - HIGHEST AND BEST DUE 6/18 @ 6PM. This special home built by Mr. Turner on the corner of Turner and Forest Avenue sits on .39 acre lot, nestled just four blocks to town, and with over 3100 square feet, this house has unlimited possibilities. Update, remodel or expand in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in the Village of Glen Ellyn. The Gracious dining room features a stunning built-in breakfront, and has an adjoining butler's pantry leading to the kitchen. Pocket doors separate the foyer, from the living room and the dining room. Fabulous oversized windows flood the house with natural light, 9.5' ceilings, and hardwood floors everywhere provide a feeling of vintage elegance. Upstairs, 4 large bedrooms all with hardwood floors and large closets surround a large open hallway. The house is filled with special details, including original front door, lots of interesting hardware and light fixtures and is constructed out of rusticated cast block which can be painted to match the garage. The one car attached garage was recently removed and an oversized 2 car garage with full storage above was constructed adjacent to the home with a new concrete driveway. Air conditioning and a whole house generator have already been added to this home. The proposed remodeling plans can be viewed in the house and will convey with the house. This house has been well maintained and is being conveyed "As Is"
