Originally built in 1911, this home underwent a thoughtful remodel enhancing its functionality and flow while preserving the unique details that make it special. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and approximately 2,600 sq ft, this home also features additional living space in the partially finished basement. Step onto the welcoming screened-in porch, which is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or evening wine many months throughout the year thanks to its storm windows that can be put in for those chillier days. Inside, the home boasts beautiful hardwood floors on the first floor and in the primary suite. The inviting living room includes a cozy fireplace and built-in shelving, opening into a spacious dining room, ideal for hosting friends and family, with space for a large farmhouse-style table and a stylish light fixture. Toward the back of the home, the bright and expansive family room is flooded with natural light from the wall of windows, seamlessly connecting to the kitchen. The kitchen, equipped with white cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, provides great flow and functionality for everyday living. A brand-new Trex deck off the kitchen is the perfect spot for grilling and outdoor dining, overlooking the professionally landscaped, fully fenced backyard. Around the corner, a charming brick patio offers a cozy, courtyard-like space for additional entertaining. A newly completed, extra-deep 1.5-car garage provides ample storage for your large SUV, bikes, and yard equipment. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring warm wood accents that adorn the vaulted ceilings with skylights and add character and charm. The wood accents continue to the ensuite bathroom which includes a soaking tub under another vaulted ceiling with skylight, a double vanity, a large walk-in shower, and generous closet space. Two walk-in closets with organizers and hardwood floors complete this stunning suite. Three additional well-sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space, along with a spacious hallway bath and a laundry room closet, round out the second floor. Ideally located just one block to the Main Street park and recreation center and two short blocks from the heart of downtown Glen Ellyn, you'll have easy access to charming restaurants, shops, and the Metra station. Don't miss this opportunity to own a truly remarkable home on a beautiful tree-lined street in one of Glen Ellyn's most desirable locations!
