About This Home
As of May 2025This beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in the coveted Glen Astor building, located in the heart of downtown Glen Ellyn, offers modern living with low-maintenance convenience. Recently updated with fresh paint, new carpet in both bedrooms, and updated light fixtures, the home features a spacious, open layout with 9' ceilings, an in-unit laundry room with full-size machines (only building in GE that offers this), and nearly 1,800 sf of flexible living space. The large dining room is perfect for entertaining, or you can easily reimagine it as a larger living room and create a private home office in the charming den with a fireplace and built-ins. The expansive primary suite includes a walk-in closet, double vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and a private balcony. There are two parking spaces; a garage spot (#31) and an outdoor spot behind the building (#5). The full-service, elevator building offers amenities like an exercise room on the first floor and a storage room on the second floor. Ideally located, you'll be steps from downtown Glen Ellyn's finest shops, dining, the movie theater, the Prairie Path, and Lake Ellyn. So much NEW: entire unit painted (2025); carpet in both bedrooms (2025); light fixtures (2025); hot water heater (2023); HVAC (2022); roof (2021); washer/dryer (2021). This building is incredibly well taken care of. No pets, no smoking, and unit cannot be rented. Don't miss this opportunity!
