About This Home

As of August 2022

Set prominently atop Fairmount Avenue in the heart of Randall Park, this well known Queen Anne Victorian has hit the market! A painted beauty on the outside, modern and stylish on the inside, you will fall in love with every inch of this home. Taken down to the studs in 2000 and completely remodeled in the past few years, this home offers all of the features of today's trends while maintaining so much of the charm and character of its 1893 origin. From the inviting stone front porch to the gracious wrap-around deck with a built-in cooking station, Pergola and views of Randall Park, the owners' well thought out vision came to life. The spacious, open floor plan makes every day living and entertaining effortless! The incredible built-ins, original restored grand staircase and oversized trim and moldings help to maintain the integrity of the home while the fabulous updates keep the home oh so modern and chic. The stunning Kitchen was updated and reconfigured in 2021 to allow for a larger island and more functional flow. New commercial grade 6 burner oven with oversized hood, quartz countertops (extra thick on the island), stylish backsplash, and designer lighting compliment the cabinetry while the open butler pantry/prep area adds an abundance of additional cabinets, food prep and serving space. Sunny breakfast room w/charming bay window, formal dining room, cozy family room, light filled heated sunroom and custom built walnut doors milled from a walnut tree taken down on the property complete the first floor. The 2nd floor offers 3 large bedrooms PLUS an office, remodeled laundry room and a beautiful completely remodeled bath with a large walk-in shower, custom built double vanity, cool tile and restoration hardware light fixtures and mirrors. You'll never want to leave the 3rd floor master suite oasis featuring a show stopping brand new luxury bath with a double vanity, large walk-in shower, soaker tub and more designer fixtures as well as a separate make-up and dressing area, 2 large walk-in closets, rain detecting remote controlled skylights and easy access to the walk-in attic perfect for storing holiday decorations, suitcases, and much more. Awesome finished basement was professionally dug out to add extra height and is finished with heated floors, a 1/2 bath, full drain tile system, brand new carpeting (2022) and additional large utility/storage room with outdoor access. Huge 3 car garage, professionally landscaped front and back yards with irrigation system, new tear-off roof (2019), exterior painting (2018), all hardwood floors refinished (2021), and interior painted (2021) . Only a few short blocks to the Main Street train station, downtown Downers Grove and all of its fabulous shops and restaurants, Whittier Elementary School, Barth Pond and 1 block to Randall Park. This home is fabulous!!
