Modern updates mixed with classic charm! Just a minute from downtown Wheaton, this updated home was made even better by its current owners. The front foyer creates a welcoming start to a 1907 gem. As you enter the living room, you'll note the fresh paint, wainscotting and fireplace, which make for a perfect setting. A front sitting room creates a little escape for you to relax. Follow through to the spacious dining room and into the updated kitchen that is flanked by an enclosed porch and the reimagined first floor laundry room--with large cubby closet for storage. A recently refreshed powder room completes the main level. Upstairs is where you'll find the three bedrooms and updated, shared hall bathroom. That's not it--the basement features a full bathroom, private room, currently being used as an indoor gardening system, and storage, utility and exercise rooms with exterior access. A dog run was added to the backyard, along with a NEW ROOF on the house and garage, an upgraded driveway from gravel to freshly poured asphalt (4/10/26) including drainage system, a new city waterline from the street, and a rebuilt fireplace chimney with fireplace insert. Out back, you also have a giant 2-story, 2-car garage with a separate first floor storage bay and an upper level loft for your imagination to run wild. Previous improvements include an updated kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, HVAC, plumbing and electrical. They've lovingly updated & maintained this home and the new owners just need to move in and enjoy!
