About This Home

As of May 2026

Charming turn of the century home with abundant historical charm has had enough upgrades through the years to maintain a warm and inviting ambiance. Located on a desirable corner lot (130'deep x 85') just minutes from charming downtown Downers Grove with its choice of dining, shopping, specialty shops, park for concerts, plus an old-time theater and bowling alley! For commuters (and families wanting to experience the many attractions of downtown Chicago), Burlington offers express trains and a modern, covered terminal with ticket sales, plus abundant near-by parking. A quaint, old-fashioned, covered front porch faces Fairview Avenue and overlooks the large side yard. At the far end of the lot, a cozy, old-fashioned wooden bench sits under the large shade tree, tempting passersby to "sit a spell" and enjoy a neighborly chat. Property also offers several planting areas, play set, storage shed (or playhouse), plus access to the side porch and kitchen entry. Beautifully landscaped and ready for spring / summer. Newer 2 car garage with access from side-street Lincoln Ave. Nice shed and a babbling brook (need to see if functional in spring).
