About This Home
As of May 2025This is it...the perfect opportunity to live in a cozy and sweet cottage that features loads of natural sunlight, hardwood floors, built in cubbies and the fun nooks and crannies only found in a vintage home! It is ready for you to make it your own with updates, an addition or to possibly build new in its prime in-town location that is within blocks of downtown Glen Ellyn, the Prairie Path, Lake Ellyn Park, Ben Franklin Elementary and Glenbard West high school. The 87.5x110 lot provides so many different opportunities in this well loved neighborhood! It is a solid home but is being sold "as is". Property is also listed as vacant land (MLS #12263430) and option for a to be built new construction home.
