Property Description
Tucked away in a quiet, serene neighborhood in between downtown Wheaton and Glen Ellyn, this beautiful mid-century gem invites you to stay awhile. From the moment you step inside, natural light from the ceiling to floor windows pours into the home, illuminating the hardwood floors found throughout. The heart of the home is the recently updated eat-in kitchen, where a skylight above fills the space with light. From there, the home flows effortlessly into a bright dining room made for hosting, or out onto the brand-new deck overlooking a private, deep backyard. Upstairs you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms and full hall bath featuring recent updates. The lower level offers a comfortable second living space, ideal as a family room or recreation room. It also houses a versatile room that works beautifully as a home office or guest space. All of this is set in an unbeatable location-just minutes from the the scenic Prairie Path, College Avenue Metra station, and both downtown Wheaton and Glen Ellyn, while also being part of the highly sought-after Glenbard West High School district. A home that blends character, comfort, and connection-this is one you won't want to miss. See attached document for full list of improvements. Too many to list here.
