Exquisite Family Home With Charming Indoor Outdoor Flow

For buyers exhausted by limited inventory in desirable Lake Ellyn, this one’s for you! Four bedrooms together upstairs, more than three thousand two hundred finished square feet, a large fenced yard, and a location just steps from Lake Ellyn and close to downtown Glen Ellyn, Glenbard West High School, and Forest Glen Elementary. Step through the proper foyer and the home’s character immediately comes into view. To the right, the twenty-two foot front living room is filled with natural light and framed by built-in bookcases, original millwork, and a decorative fireplace before opening into the gorgeous separate dining room. An arched built-in china cabinet and original leaded-glass French doors add even more charm while also creating the option for a beautiful main-floor office. The expansive main floor continues through an adorable butler’s pantry and dedicated coffee bar into the eat-in kitchen featuring Thermador and JennAir appliances (2016), generous storage, and a large sink overlooking the backyard. Entertaining continues as you step into the rear family room where French doors lead to the back patio and yard. A full bathroom, ample closet space, and access to the attached garage complete the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a staircase leading to a partially finished third-floor bonus room. Today, the bonus room works perfectly as a kids’ hangout, playroom, reading nook or office. But the real value lies in what could be done within the home’s existing footprint. Conceptual plans (coming soon) show how removing the attic staircase could make room for a beautiful second full bathroom directly adjacent to the primary bedroom creating a true primary ensuite without sacrificing any of the three secondary bedrooms. In Lake Ellyn where homeowners often have to take on a full home addition to accomplish the same floor-plan goal that is the goldmine here. The finished basement includes a recreation room separate laundry room utility space and substantial storage. Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard is fully fenced with a brick paver patio and a generous stretch of usable lawn for outdoor entertaining. Oversized lot: 70 X 149 X 69 X 149. A one-and-a-half car attached garage and long private driveway provide additional parking. The home was rehabbed in 2017 and furnace was replaced in 2026. Water heater (2020).
