Description
You'll be impressed the minute you step onto the amazing front porch. You'll fall in love upon entering the historically elegant home. Warning, a calming presence may fall over you as you realize, this may be your next place! This is an opportunity to own a home with a perfect blend of thoughtfully restored vintage details and modern enhancements. Walking distance to all 3 award winning schools, just steps from Downers Grove North, downtown, Metra train and library. Located on a quiet historic block, there is a deck overlooking the peaceful backyard. A perfect place to gather and enjoy the great outdoors! There are 3 impeccably renovated levels of living space. Over 9 total rooms, 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms including a amazing full master bath! The charming but large living room has beautiful wood floors, through the living room is the equally charming formal dining room that will take you back in time and returns elegance to formal entertainment. The dining room flows into the new addition family room featuring a gas fireplace and access to the deck. In 1997 the family room addition was masterfully designed to fit the era of this home. Through the back foyer is the expanded kitchen. Expanded also in 1997 to add the eating area which is bright, airy and relaxing. The floor plan just makes it ideal for entertaining! The 2nd floor features all 4 bedrooms on the same level! A very large master bedroom (also part of the 1997 addition) with tray ceiling, walk-in closet and en suite bath with whirlpool tub and separate shower. The other 3 bedrooms are nicely sized and there is an updated full hall bathroom. For additional storage there are pull-down stairs to the attic. Downstairs to the lower level, the partly finished basement features a den, has another full bath, large unfinished storage room (ideal for future office space), laundry room and work shop area. If a Norman Rockwell painting of a home came to life... this would be it! All you need to do is move-in and call this historic gem home! Live here and make it a wonderful life!
