Cameo offers the best in 55+ active adult living in Downers Grove. This modified "Duchess" model has two bedrooms, one and a half baths and additional utility closets. The unit is located on the picturesque back side of the building where the views are serene and private. Convenient access to the walking bridge leads directly to the secure garage space. The full bathroom was updated just a couple years ago with a custom shower featuring a low threshold entry. This bathroom was also just professionally painted. Wide plank luxury vinyl flooring was professionally installed and gives a fresh and updated look throughout the kitchen and hallway areas. Both bedrooms were just professionally painted. A new hot water tank was installed on 10/09/25. This floorplan is uniquely larger than the typical Countess model at Cameo. This 55+ community for active adults has many amenities which include multiple gathering spaces, exercise room, library, well maintained laundry facilities and plenty of guest parking. Low property taxes are a plus, for both the condo and the deeded garage space. Very reasonable monthly HOA fees include exterior maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, common insurance, water and sewer and use of the building amenities. This friendly, well maintained and self managed condo community is the best carefree senior option to call home in Downers Grove!
