About this home

If you're reading this standing up, you may want to sit down. There are so many NEWS in this house that this may take a minute. Featuring 3 Beds and 2 full Baths, this stylish brick ranch was spared no details or expense by the owner during remodeling. Both bathrooms were updated in 2023 (Kohler fixtures). Brand new wood trim and cabinets help highlight the new wide-plank laminate flooring throughout (upstairs & downstairs) which also includes a brand new sub floor. New wood on the stairs as well as new epoxy in the laundry room. ALL kitchen appliances are brand new (refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, range, microwave, garbage disposal) and are Monogram. The entire house has been reinsulated. Brand new tankless water heater, humidifier and air conditioner (furnace 2020). Before we head outside I don't want to forget to mention the brand new GE washer and dryer as well as the backwater valve and sump pump that was added in the basement (no history of flooding here, strictly preventative maintenance). As you make your way outside through the spacious 3 season room, I'd like to point out that the flooring is brand new in here and the head rests on the jacuzzi are brand new as well. I hope you're still with me, we're just getting started. Outside, surely you'll notice that the exterior has been freshly stained (with a 20 year warranty). Exterior lights and doors have all been replaced and updated with Emtek door hardware. Back and side fence were recently replaced (with new posts also)as was the garage door. The sod and landscaping are both fresh and professionally done. The roof on the house AND garage are, you guessed it, brand new too! What is not to like?!? Also located within walking distance of Downers North High School. Close proximity to I-355, I-88 and Good Samaritan Hospital. The house is a mere 3 blocks from Downtown Downers Grove and all it has to offer. This is convenience at its finest. Check it out before it is gone!!! ***Floor plans approved by the Village of Downers Grove for a 2nd floor addition are available for an additional cost***
