Welcome to quintessential Downers Grove living in this classic Chicago-style brick bungalow - timeless, solid, and filled with character. Perfectly positioned in one of Downers Grove's most walkable neighborhoods, this all-brick beauty blends vintage charm with enduring quality. From its beautiful architectural details to its incredible bones, this home tells a story of craftsmanship that simply isn't replicated today. Inside, you'll find the warmth and charm you expect from a true bungalow - thoughtful details, rich character, and spaces that feel both inviting and functional. It's vintage in the best way - not "old," but enduring. Just steps to town, the Metra, parks, and award-winning Downers Grove schools, the location is as exceptional as the home itself. And perhaps most special of all - this home comes full circle. It was sold 20 years ago by my mother, making this offering a true hometown moment. Classic. Walkable. Rooted in community. This is Downers Grove.
