About this home

This Elmhurst bungalow offers a wonderful blend of vintage charm and renovation potential. With its prime location, it also presents the perfect opportunity to build on a 50x150 lot just blocks from downtown Elmhurst. Upon entering the home, you'll be greeted by a cozy enclosed front porch ideal for greeting family and friends or relaxing with a good book. The bright and sunny living/dining room combo provides an open space for entertaining - with hardwood floors under first floor carpeting. Off the eat-in kitchen, you'll find an enclosed back porch with easy access to the yard for grilling and relaxing outdoors. The main level is finished off with two large bedrooms (one with back porch access) and a full bathroom. The second floor was expanded and presents a bonus room, 1/2 bath, and an oversized loft area. With its vaulted ceilings, the lofted space would be perfect for a primary bedroom with extra room for an office/playroom. An unfinished lower level with over 1000 square feet awaits your creative ideas - family room, extra bedroom, exercise room. Basement also features laundry, storage, and is roughed-in for a potential 3rd bathroom. Beautifully landscaped backyard with a 1 car detached garage. Being offered AS-IS, this home is ready for your personal touches. Ideally located within walking distance to the Metra, award-winning schools, shops and restaurants, YMCA, newly renovated Wilder Park, and Elmhurst Library. Welcome home!
