01About this home

Storybook Tudor charm meets Ralph Lauren-inspired style in one of Downers Grove's most treasured neighborhoods-Denburn Woods. Tucked among mature trees and winding streets, this unique and historic enclave is known for its distinctive architecture, wooded setting, and the peaceful creek that winds through the neighborhood. Adjacent to the scenic trails of Lyman Woods Nature Preserve and just a short walk to vibrant downtown Downers Grove, residents enjoy boutique shopping, dining, and the Metra station with convenient express trains to Chicago. Wonderful Downers Grove public schools and very close to The Avery Coonley School! Lovingly cared for by the same family for nearly 60 years, this special home has been beautifully maintained and is filled with warmth, charm, and character throughout. The classic Tudor floor plan offers wonderful natural light with abundant windows, tall ceilings, and beautiful architectural details including arched doorways and charming original touches. The inviting living room features a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace and flows into a formal dining room perfect for gatherings. The kitchen was remodeled in the early 2000s and offers a wonderful footprint for future updates. The second floor includes four generous bedrooms (one currently used as an office), while a third-floor addition provides a private bedroom and second full bath. With its incredible bones, timeless character, and fantastic layout, this home offers endless potential for thoughtful updates and design inspiration. Situated on a beautiful, wooded lot in one of Downers Grove's most desirable neighborhoods, the property also offers the possibility for a new custom home. Whether restoring the charm of this classic Tudor or creating something new, the setting and opportunity are truly exceptional. Home is being conveyed as-is.
