Résidence Unifamiliale À Downers Grove

Set in the highly sought-after Whittier School neighborhood, this beautifully updated Craftsman-style ranch offers timeless character, thoughtful improvements, and the freedom to enjoy more of what you love! Expanded in 2010, the home has been further enhanced by an impressive collection of thoughtful improvements completed within the past two years. This 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath home combines comfortable living with exceptional attention to detail. Beautiful front landscaping creates a welcoming first impression, featuring a paver walkway, landscape lighting, and perennial gardens filled with oakleaf hydrangeas, a Japanese maple, and vibrant seasonal color. The driveway, enhanced with an expansive new paver section, leads to one of the property’s standout features: a brand-new two-car garage, fully drywalled with epoxy floors and generous space for vehicles, tools, and serious projects. Inside, warm oak hardwood floors and solid wood Craftsman-style doors establish a timeless feel, complemented by fresh paint and new window treatments throughout. The inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace and elegant new crown molding. The kitchen combines beauty and function with custom maple cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and a center island with seating. Recent updates include new stainless steel appliances (excluding the dishwasher), lighting, and cabinet hardware. Under-cabinet lighting and a pantry closet add convenience. The thoughtfully designed 2010 addition introduced a dining area and a private primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired full bath with a travertine shower and heated travertine floors, a welcome luxury on chilly Chicago mornings. A second full bathroom, conveniently located on the main level, has also been refreshed with select new fixtures. A Marvin patio door opens to a fully fenced backyard retreat featuring beautiful new landscaping, a lush green lawn, an intimate deck, and a storage shed. It’s an inviting outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon. The finished lower level provides wonderful flexibility, with a spacious recreation room featuring new flooring and ceiling tiles, ideal for a media room, home office, or fitness space. A generous laundry room with a new dryer and nearly new washer, plus a separate mechanical and hobby space, complete this versatile level. A new water heater adds to the home’s extensive list of recent improvements. With Whittier School, Randall Park, and Barth Pond at Patriots Park nearby, opportunities for walking, fishing, and outdoor recreation are close to home. Convenient access to downtown Downers Grove and major highways makes commuting and weekend adventures equally easy. Beautifully updated, thoughtfully designed, and refreshingly manageable, this is a home that lets you spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying life!
