About This Home

As of October 2020

Wow! Not often can buyers find historic charm with modern amenities in the heart of Wheaton! This charming home boasts 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2121 square feet of finished living space. You'll fall in love from the start as you notice the professionally landscaped front yard and inviting front porch. The flow is optimal - just the right balance of defined spaces and open living. The generously sized living areas are highlighted by tall ceilings, rounded archways, hardwood floors, tall baseboards and custom light fixtures. The kitchen was remodeled in 2017 and features quartz counters, subway tile and GE Slate appliances. Don't forget about the screened-in porch, perfect for your morning coffee, or the large multi-tiered deck for entertaining guests. Additional upgrades include but aren't limited to- roof (2020), garage roof and siding (2020), siding (2019) and 3rd level renovation (2016). The basement is waterproofed and most rooms are freshly painted too! The location is perfect - steps from Lowell Elementary School, around the corner from the Metra & Prairie Path and not much further from Wheaton College & downtown Wheaton. Interstate access is close by and convenient too. Agents and/or perspective buyers exposed to covid-19 or with a cough or fever are not to enter the home until they receive medical clearance. This home is owned by a licensed Realtor.
