About This Home

As of February 2025

This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is the perfect blend of modern convenience and classic charm. Nearly every aspect of this home has been meticulously renovated to provide a fresh, contemporary feel throughout. The heart of the home is the spacious, fully updated kitchen, featuring sleek 42-inch white maple cabinetry with soft-close drawers, luxurious quartz countertops, brand-new appliances, and a stylish under-mount stainless steel sink. Each of the three bathrooms has been tastefully updated with modern finishes, adding both comfort and style to every corner of the home. On the main floor, you'll find a bright and airy living room, a formal dining room, a bedroom, and a full bathroom, providing plenty of space for living and entertaining. Upstairs, the second floor features two generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bathroom. The finished basement extends your living space even further, with a large family room, a dedicated office space, and an additional full bathroom-perfect for guests or additional privacy. Throughout the home, you'll enjoy stunning hardwood floors that add warmth and elegance to every room. This home has been upgraded with numerous important improvements, including a new roof, new furnace, new central air conditioning, and new windows. The home also features new exterior doors, fresh exterior paint, and brand-new front and back porches. The yard has also been thoughtfully revamped with tree removal, thinning of foliage, the removal of old undergrowth and shrubs, the addition of 10 cubic yards of topsoil, and beautifully reimagined planting beds. Located just 1.5 blocks from the local elementary school and less than a mile from downtown Glen Ellyn, you'll have easy access to shopping, dining, and the train station offering a convenient commute to downtown Chicago.
