Rarely Available Denburn Woods Gem on a Private 1/2-Acre Creekside Lot. Tucked away in the highly sought-after Denburn Woods neighborhood, this enchanting home offers an exceptional blend of privacy, charm, and convenience-all within walking distance to vibrant downtown Downers Grove and the Metra station. Set on a serene 1/2-acre lot that backs to picturesque Saint Joseph Creek, this residence sits on a quiet cul-de-sac surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty. This spacious home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths including a main floor primary suite that provides the perfect retreat. Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms and two full baths. The main level is filled with character and warmth, boasting a formal living room, den, dining room, and a cozy family room with expansive picture windows that frame tranquil backyard views. A striking brick and copper fireplace serves as a dramatic centerpiece, perfect for gathering on cool evenings. The sun-drenched 3-seasons room offers a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature year-round. With two separate basements-one beneath the newer primary suite and another under the original part of the home-there's no shortage of storage, recreation, or renovation potential. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines timeless charm, a unique layout, and a stunning natural setting-all in one of Downers Grove's most treasured neighborhoods.
