An exceptional opportunity in the heart of Downers Grove! Set on an oversized 60-by-196-foot lot backing directly to Hummer Park, this charming brick ranch is just two blocks from the Fairview Avenue Metra station and minutes from downtown Downers Grove, shopping, dining, schools, and recreation. The impressive lot provides outstanding possibilities-enjoy the home as it is, renovate and expand, or explore the potential for new construction. Inside, the home offers two main-level bedrooms, two full baths, a sun-filled living room with a large picture window, a vintage kitchen with original solid-oak cabinetry, and an enclosed porch overlooking the private backyard. The full, partially finished basement provides additional living space, abundant storage, and the potential for a third bedroom. Additional features include a rear patio, lush landscaping, an attached one-car garage with extra storage, a newer high-efficiency furnace, a 2016 roof, central air, and a sump pump with battery backup. A rare combination of lot size, park frontage, commuter convenience, and access to everything Downers Grove has to offer!
