This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath home is filled with charm and character, set on a maturely landscaped lot (110 x 149) in a prime location. A curved staircase greets you in the entryway, complemented by arched doorways and natural light from skylights placed on both the main and second levels. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2024-featuring opened walls for improved flow, new cabinetry, modern countertops, new flooring, and all new appliances. The main level has been freshly painted, and new luxury vinyl plank flooring has been installed throughout, with new carpet in two bedrooms (2024). All bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated. The primary bath features an oversized steam shower. The finished basement includes a full bath and offers flexible living space. Step outside to enjoy the freshly painted deck and patio area, perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Additional recent upgrades include a new garage door and LED trim lighting (2024), a newer A/C unit, radon mitigation system (2023), and more. Ideally located near Downtown Downers Grove, Metra, shops, restaurants, and more-this home is the perfect combination of character, space, and convenience
