Rare opportunity on one of Downers Grove's most coveted streets! Set on an exceptional deep lot on highly desirable Gilbert Avenue, this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home offers warmth, character, and a setting that is truly hard to find. Just moments from downtown Downers Grove, the Metra, and Maple Grove Forest Preserve, the home combines everyday convenience with a surprisingly private, nature-filled backdrop. Inside, you'll find inviting sun-filled living spaces, hardwood floors, a beautifully updated kitchen with added storage, and a warm, welcoming feel throughout. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility with a spacious family room, full bath, laundry area, and excellent space for work, hobbies, guests, or creative use. Outside is where this property becomes especially memorable, with an amazing deep lot, detached 2-car garage, patio space, mature trees, and a picturesque creek with footbridge creating a one-of-a-kind backyard setting. Thoughtful improvements over the years include windows, entry doors, updated electrical with circuit breakers, remodeled lower level, rebuilt chimney, and a new furnace in 2026. See Additional Information for the full list of updates and improvements. Opportunities like this on Gilbert Avenue are rare.
