About This Home
Your Randall Park dream home awaits! Welcome to this elegant, custom-built California Farmhouse by Cypress Hill Development, nestled in one of the most sought-after and picturesque neighborhoods in Downers Grove-just minutes from downtown shopping and dining, the Main Street and Fairview Metra stations, and highly rated Whittier Elementary School-with a beautiful, Park District-managed green space directly across the street. This spacious 4+ bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom home is brimming with upgraded features. You'll love the warm and welcoming oversized front porch, jigsaw oak hardwoods, plantation shutters, specialized millwork, arched doorways, charming wainscoting, and customized mudroom/laundry area with access to the backyard. The luxe kitchen features custom Amish-made cabinetry, natural quartzite countertops, high-end appliances, a deep Kohler farmhouse sink, beverage center, service bar with additional cabinet space, and an oversize island with a built-in microwave. The adjoining family room invites comfort and connection, centered around a cozy gas fireplace and flowing seamlessly from the kitchen-creating an inviting space ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Upstairs, the primary suite will be your tranquil retreat with the newly renovated spa-like bathroom. Enjoy a roomy marble step-in shower, Kohler soaking tub, dual vanities with natural quartzite countertops, sustainable bamboo flooring, and beautiful natural light streaming in from the brand-new skylight with integrated shade. The second floor also features three additional bedrooms-one with an en suite bathroom-plus a conveniently located second laundry room complete with a utility sink. The finished third-level loft has endless possibilities for adaptable space... a fifth bedroom, art studio, playroom, home theater. The basement provides further room for expansion, offering almost 1,600 sq ft with high ceilings-perfect for a golf simulator, wine cellar, or additional living space. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, this home feels like brand-new. Recent updates include a new roof (2025) and new skylights with integrated, remote-controlled shades (2025). The outdoor space is equally inviting, featuring custom permeable pavers-perfect for lounging and providing additional parking for a third and fourth car-along with fresh landscaping, a newly built cedar fence and discreet dog run, plus a patio with a custom tavern designed to accommodate a 50" TV. The oversized 2.5-car garage has epoxy flooring, a gas line for a future furnace, and additional loft space for an art studio, storage, or your personal imagination space. Move Confidently!
