Property Description
WELCOME HOME TO 126 N. ELLIS! Modern convenience meets timeless charm in this beautifully updated home in the heart of Downtown Wheaton. Formerly a two-unit residence, now transformed into a spacious and comfortable single-family home. Step inside the enclosed front porch and into a welcoming foyer featuring hardwood floors, original millwork, and a classic stair railing that speaks to the home's history. The fully remodeled kitchen (2023) is a showstopper-featuring new flooring, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a beadboard backsplash that blends style with character. A full bath off the kitchen adds convenience. Hardwood floors continue throughout much of the home, including the inviting living room with a stained glass window and pocket doors that open to a generous dining room. An adjacent family room creates an open-concept feel, perfect for both daily living and entertaining. Upstairs, the hall bath was completely renovated in December 2024 with all-new subflooring, walls, classic tilework, a stylish vanity, new lighting, and a modern shower. Each bedroom offers its own wall A/C unit, and the primary bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard (2024), a beautiful brick paver patio (2022), and a detached one-car garage. All of this just steps from the Metra station, dining, shopping, and parks-plus highly rated District 200 schools!
