Welcome to this beautifully updated split-level home, where modern finishes and thoughtful upgrades meet charm. Just minutes from downtown Downers Grove, train stations, top-rated schools, and expressways, this home offers the perfect blend of convenience, comfort and style. Step into the inviting living room with recessed lighting and custom tile work that flows into natural hickory hardwood floors throughout the first level (2020). The kitchen was renovated in 2021 with granite countertops, a stylish backsplash, single basin sink, updated faucet, new garbage disposal and painted cabinetry. The sunlit dining room features wainscoting for added character. Upstairs, you'll find hardwood floors throughout and a fully remodeled bathroom (2024) with a modern vanity, tiled tub surround and Bluetooth exhaust fan. The lower level includes a spacious family room with pocket doors, updated laundry room and a bathroom with stand-up shower-both remodeled in 2022. A new washer and dryer were installed this year. The home also features a newer water heater and electrical panel (2020), plus a large crawl space for extra storage. A new ejector pump was installed in 2025. Enjoy the fully fenced backyard, perfect for entertaining, with a paver patio, fire pit (2021), and a new pergola (2025). The A/C condenser was also replaced this year. The heated and insulated garage adds year-round function, and the asphalt driveway was replaced in 2023 and freshly seal-coated in 2025. Meticulously maintained with quality upgrades throughout-come see the care and attention for yourself!
