About This Home

As of March 2025

Charm, appeal, and allure are some of the few words I would use to describe 702 Howard. Nestled in highly sought after North Wheaton - you get the perfect blend of character and space for you to call Home! Easy access to Northside Park, Wheaton College, Downtown Wheaton, Downtown Glen Ellyn, and so much more. Walk right through the vestibule, and fall in love as you enter your cozy living room. As you walk through the formal dining through the french doors, you'll be amazed by the space and flow here! Massive vaulted family room (21'x21'!) that floods with natural light, flowing through to your eat-in area/sun room, and spacious kitchen. The ideal plan to host and entertain family and friends! Make way upstairs to find two spacious bedrooms, with a shared full bath and an additional 3 bedrooms on the first floor that also include another full bathroom. Before you head to the basement, you'll notice a first floor laundry and pantry/closet making it easy to handle everyday duties on the first floor! Spacious basement includes two more rooms - utilize as office space, bed room, storage, or whatever your heart may desire! Another full bathroom is adjacent to one of the bedrooms, and don't forget the other laundry space that also includes kitchenette - creating the perfect guest space situation. This one right here is truly the one. Welcome home!
