About this home
Charming Cape Cod cottage in one of Downers Grove's most desirable neighborhoods. Home is larger than it looks and offers four bedrooms and three full baths, featuring fresh paint in the main house, six-panel white doors and trim throughout most of the home. Hardwood floors run through the main living areas, and a first-floor primary bedroom adds convenience. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans. Upstairs features two bedrooms with architectural ceilings. A three-season room off the primary overlooks a fully fenced backyard with both a paver and concrete patio. Lawn has just been reseeded. The standout feature is a private accessory dwelling unit accessible via a breezeway from inside the home or through its own exterior entrance. The space includes a living area, full kitchen, large bedroom, walk-in closet, and step-in shower. It functions well as an in-law arrangement, a setup for an older child seeking independence, or a potential income-producing unit subject to future Village discussions. Award-winning schools: Highland Elementary, Herrick Middle, Downers Grove North. Close to Metra BNSF, downtown Downers Grove, Yorktown Center, and Oakbrook Center. New microwave and dryer 2026. HWH 2017. Be sure to check out the video.
