Tucked away on an expansive 85x180 lot, 218 W Elm is the perfect canvas for new owners to make their own. This meticulously maintained quad-level offers over 3200 square feet of finished living space and has been thoroughly enjoyed by the original owners since they built it in 1956. The main level is designed for entertaining and effortless flow, featuring a spacious living/dining room combo with gas fireplace, cozy family room, eat-in kitchen and powder room. Upstairs, you'll find original hardwood floors, a large primary bedroom with its own private bath as well as two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. The ground level adds versatility with an attached and heated two car garage, a dedicated laundry/mudroom area and a flexible fourth bedroom that could also be an ideal home office or workout area. The finished basement recreation room, built-in bar and third full bathroom provide that extra space that every homeowner craves. Outside, a private patio and lush backyard offer a secluded retreat at the end of a long day. Situated just moments from Kelly Park and within walking distance to both Whittier Elementary and Edison Middle School, the sense of community and lifestyle are as unbeatable as the potential of the house itself. Don't miss this rare opportunity to establish roots in this highly sought after Wheaton neighborhood.
