Description

A gem of a Victorian home welcomes you with a touch of yesterday (classic front porch and gracious foyer) and all today's conveniences. The interior is freshly decorated and features gleaming hardwood floors, booklovers built-ins, exquisite white painted molding, and tall ceilings. A large, eat-in kitchen has an expansive granite island for homework, a holiday seasons worth of baking or dining (seats 8 comfortably), Notice the added storage space below the island. The first floor includes a living room, separate dining room, a full bathroom, a bonus mudroom/office and a rarely found 1st floor bedroom. An attached one and a half car garage is just off the kitchen. The upstairs is cozy, carpeted and features two large and sunny bedrooms with gabled ceilings. The primary bedroom has a full ensuite bath and multiple closets for lots of storage. The thoughtfully landscaped front yard draws guests in and the spacious back yard with two patios and loads of flowering perennials is perfect for entertaining. All this a short couple blocks to the Whittier Elementary (A+), the Fairview Metra and less than mile to all the restaurants and services of downtown Downers Grove.
