About This Home

As of April 2020

From the moment you step on the porch, this vintage Downers Grove house will feel like home. Some of the many updates include a luxurious downstairs bath with a heated tile floor, a cozy breakfast nook in the kitchen, newer windows in the basement, 200 amp electric service and a stamped-concrete patio. Other unique features include laundry on the first floor the 2 1/2 car garage, the fenced yard that's perfect for pets, the side porch and the kitchen pantry. If you need a home office or den, the downstairs bedroom easily provides that flexibility. The basement was professionally waterproofed in December 2019 with drain tile system, vapor barrier and a brand new concrete floor with epoxy seal. All this makes the basement a fantastic, worry-free playroom/storage space. The sellers are allowing showings, but a virtual tour will be provided upon request.
