01About this home

Welcome to this charming and beautifully maintained ranch in highly desirable North Downers Grove! Offering 4 bedrooms (2 on the main level and 2 additional bedrooms in the finished basement) and 1 full bath, this home combines comfort, functionality, and opportunity. The recently remodeled kitchen features modern finishes and updates, creating a stylish and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. An unfinished second full bathroom in the basement already has rough plumbing, a toilet installed, and completed floor tile, providing an excellent opportunity for the next owner to add instant value and additional convenience. The finished basement adds approximately 962 square feet of living space and includes a spacious family/recreation room, making it perfect for entertaining, working from home, fitness space, or extended living arrangements. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, while the expansive backyard offers a private outdoor retreat with plenty of room for gardening, recreation, entertaining, or future enhancements. Ideally located just blocks from all three highly rated public schools, this home also provides exceptional convenience with quick access to I-88, I-355, Yorktown Center, Oakbrook Center, and an abundance of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Opportunities like this in North Downers Grove are rare. The home has been well cared for, is in good condition, and is being conveyed as-is.
