We cordially invite you to experience the entirety of this recently updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom ranch-style home in 3D/virtual reality before seeing it in person! Sometimes it's best to start fresh and worry-free with many of the major daily-use items having been replaced in the past month. Improvements from 2025 include restored solid oak hardwood flooring on the main level, painting throughout the home, the overhead recessed lighting on both levels, new carpeting in the bedrooms & the recreation room, bedroom ceiling fans, painted kitchen cabinetry, stainless steel kitchen appliances, epoxied kitchen countertops (originally laminate, now with an epoxy top coat), a new double-basin kitchen sink, and a new American Standard kitchen plumbing fixture. The windows throughout the home are double pane vinyl replacement windows from Renewal by Anderson and include double hung, picture, hopper and casement styles. The roof and siding were considered "newer" by the previous listing agent (when the property sold in 2015), though we do not have exact years of replacement for those items. The wooden deck is large and spacious, measuring approx. 240 sq. ft. and 31' x 13' at its farthest points. The deck would benefit from a coat or two or appropriate wooden deck paint when the weather permits. If you need extra storage, look toward the garage. The garage square footage is approx. 570 sq. ft., is 24' deep and wide enough for 2 cars plus storage. The interior storage space within the garage measures approximately 7' wide by 24' deep. It can be easily reconfigured to suit your needs! As this property resides on a corner lot, there are two side yards, one enclosed and the other containing both yard space and a separate apron/driveway that is large enough to house 4 normal-sized cars. The garage has its own driveway that can hold a further 2 cars. For those that need to commute downtown, know that you have three Metra stops in very close proximity: 1) You are 10 blocks to the Fairview Metra stop (BNSF Line), a 15 minute walk or a 2 minute car ride. 2) You are a 4 minute drive or a 20 minute walk (1 mile) to the Westmont Metra stop (BNSF Line). 3) You are a 5 minute drive or a 30 minute walk (1.5 miles) to the Downers Grove Metra stop (BNSF Line). All of these locations will take you to either the heart of downtown Downers Grove or downtown Westmont, both with their own charm, shops, and conveniences. You are not far from daily essentials like Whole Foods Target, or Jewel, all less than 8 minutes away. When you're home, it will be easy to enjoy the 1,600 sq. ft. of interior living space. The living spaces are nicely separated by floor so one person can quietly enjoy the main level living room / dining area while others can make use of the giant L-shaped recreation room. For purposes of labeling this listing sheet, we separated that area into two rooms because the shape lends itself to being separated for different purposes. There is ample overhead lighting so there is the possibility of using the areas as office space, workout space, a movie area, a general purpose room, etc. The ceiling height in the basement is approx. 7' and the ceiling height of the main level is approx. 8'. This home is in turn-key condition right now but know ahead of time that there are plenty of places and opportunities to improve and update the home. It will require maintenance and care as time goes on. We encourage you to schedule a showing and experience this home in person for yourself. Welcome home!
