Description

Privately tucked away on a one-block street-yet moments from everything-this fully updated and truly move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is the one buyers wait for-and rarely find. Thoughtful updates shine throughout, beginning with a stunning renovated first-floor bath featuring heated floors and refinished hardwood floors on the main level, custom-stained in a rich walnut tone, adding warmth and sophistication. The main floor offers bright, airy living spaces with neutral paint and seamless flow from room to room. The updated kitchen includes a large pantry, while the primary suite impresses with a spa-like bath and expansive walk-in closets designed for everyday luxury. The lower level expands your living options with flexible space perfect for a gym, recreation room, or home office, plus walk-out access to the patio and professionally landscaped backyard-ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Location is everything, and this one delivers: just three blocks to vibrant Downtown Downers Grove, including the summer farmers' market, festivals, shops, dining, and the Burlington Northern Metra Main Station. Washington Park is one block away, and schools, grocery stores, mall shopping, and major highways provide effortless access to local neighborhoods, the airports, and downtown Chicago. Set on a rare 75x132 lot along a beautiful, tree-lined street, this property offers endless possibilities-enjoy the space as-is or expand. Move in, settle in, and enjoy the lifestyle. Homes like this-at this location-don't come around often.
