    What's special

    Cozy wood-burning fireplaceFully mulched landscapeGarden areaGreat pantryBeautifully updated kitchenCharming brick patioInviting fire pit
    Step into the timeless charm of this delightful 1921 vintage bungalow, where classic character and modern comfort come together in one of Wheaton's most prestigious and convenient locations. Just minutes from Wheaton College, the Metra, elementary school, the Illinois Prairie Path, beautiful Northside parks and pool, you'll enjoy the best of in-town living with everything close at hand. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this inviting home offers 3 bedrooms plus a finished basement bedroom, along with 2 full bathrooms. Rich original oak hardwood floors, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and ceiling fans preserve the warmth and personality that make vintage homes so special, while numerous updates provide today's conveniences. The beautifully updated kitchen features newer stainless steel appliances (2024), as well as a great pantry. The main-level bathroom has been tastefully renovated. The finished basement adds valuable living space with a bedroom and fabulous full bath, making it ideal for guests, a home office, or extended family. Major improvements offer peace of mind, including a tankless water heater (2025), furnace and air conditioner (2024), replaced plumbing, most replacement windows, drain tile, a sump pump with battery backup, and a tear-off roof on both the home and garage (approximately 15 years old). Outside, the backyard feels like a private little retreat. French doors open to a spacious 15' x 15' deck built with double-supported rafters and ready for a future hot tub. A charming brick patio, inviting fire pit, garden area, fully mulched landscape, and 6-foot wood privacy fence create the perfect setting for quiet mornings, summer cookouts, or evenings beneath the stars. A side drive leads to the oversized 2.5-car garage, and with the home located a few steps from Wheaton's remarkable downtown, you'll appreciate the incredible walkability and easy access to everything Wheaton has to offer. If you've been searching for a home with genuine character, thoughtful updates, and a location that makes everyday life a little easier, this charming bungalow is ready to welcome you home.
