From the inviting blue stone front porch to the thoughtfully designed layout rarely found in older homes, this residence offers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of Downers Grove's most desirable locations. Inside, the spacious kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a high-end Wolf range, Jenn Air double oven, Miele dishwasher, butler's pantry with wine fridge, and a sun-filled dining room-ideal for hosting gatherings. The first-floor primary suite offers comfort and privacy, while the expansive family room with a wood-burning fireplace and kitchen with a gas fireplace and office nook create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The sun-drenched library with built-in shelving is the perfect retreat for book lovers. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms and a full bath offer plenty of room for family and guests. The lower level provides incredible versatility, with an additional office space, generous storage options, and a deep-pour family room already set up for a future wet bar. Hardwood floors throughout, a Generac generator, and a new main-floor A/C (2022) add to the home's comfort and convenience. Outside, the detached garage with an upstairs loft offers endless possibilities-use it for storage or transform it into a home office or studio. The location is unbeatable-just a block from beloved Washington Park, minutes from downtown Downers Grove, and close to Lester Elementary, Herrick Middle School, and Downers Grove North High School. This is more than just a house-it's a lifestyle of convenience, charm, and timeless elegance. Don't miss this incredible opportunity!
