Welcome to this beautiful light-filled home in north Downers Grove, situated on a generous 2/3 acre lot. Originally constructed in 1940, this home underwent expansion and remodeling in the mid-90s, offering an exquisite blend of classic charm and modern amenities. Boasting 12 rooms, this residence presents ample space with the potential for easy conversion into a 4 or 5 bedroom layout. As you step through the arched front door, you're greeted by the warmth of the living room, dining room, and hallway adorned with stunning hardwood floors. The living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, its chimney recently relined and recapped in 2023, while seamlessly flowing into the spacious dining area. From there, the journey continues into the expansive kitchen, illuminated by an abundance of natural light filtering through custom top-down bottom-up blinds. Revel in the convenience of recessed lighting, solid hardwood cabinetry, corian countertops, and an inviting island perfect for casual dining. The kitchen effortlessly transitions into a versatile space ideal for an office or cozy family room. The main level also hosts a substantial bedroom and full bathroom, offering convenience and flexibility. Ascend the enclosed stairway to discover the second floor, where a loft area awaits, suitable for a family room or office, with the potential to be converted into an additional bedroom. The primary bedroom impresses with its generous size, featuring a large closet, custom light-filtering/room-darkening blinds, and a private balcony overlooking the serene yard. Another spacious bedroom on this level boasts its own private balcony and ample closet space, with the potential for subdivision into two separate rooms. A large full bathroom completes the second floor. The full basement adds to the allure of this home, offering a vast recreation room with a wet bar, two offices, a full bath, and ample storage space, with convenient access to the backyard. Step outside through the kitchen door to the expansive 35-foot deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation. The fenced yard provides privacy and tranquility, making it an ideal retreat. Conveniently located within walking distance to town, train, parks, restaurants, and entertainment, this home offers a prime location. Additionally, the 2.75 car garage adds to the convenience and practicality of this exceptional property. Don't miss the opportunity to make this fabulous home yours. Home is Broker Owned.
