Description

Nestled in desirable North Downers Grove, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.1-bath home offers timeless elegance, generous living space, and exceptional functionality throughout. A grand double-door entry welcomes you into a stunning two-story foyer highlighted by a sweeping curved staircase and gleaming hardwood floors that continue throughout the home. Formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer, creating the perfect setting for entertaining and everyday living. The heart of the home features a warm and inviting hearth room/sitting area that opens to a beautifully appointed kitchen with rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and abundant storage. A separate eating area with additional cabinetry provides even more space for serving and organization. The main level is completed by a convenient laundry/mud room and powder room. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet and private ensuite bath, while three additional bedrooms and a shared hall bath provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The partially finished basement adds valuable flexible living space, along with a large unfinished art room or studio ready for your personal vision-ideal for creative space, workshop, exercise room, or future expansion. Step outside to enjoy the expansive deck overlooking a generously sized backyard with plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, and outdoor enjoyment. EV charging plug in garage with its own electric panel remains. Projection TV in basement remains with house. Combining classic style, thoughtful layout, and a sought-after location, this home will be ready to welcome its next owners later this summer.
