Welcome to 1141 Robey Avenue, a beautifully maintained one-owner home tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Downers Grove's most sought-after neighborhoods. Perfectly positioned on a premium lot with serene pond views and extra space between neighboring homes, this property offers both privacy and a picture-perfect setting. Located just steps from O'Brien and McCollum Parks, you'll enjoy easy access to playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, and scenic walking and biking trails. A convenient path leads directly to the nearby grade school, and downtown Downers Grove-known for its charming boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and Metra station-is just 2.5 miles away. Everyday shopping is close by, along with quick access to major expressways for an easy commute. Inside, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, one and a half baths, and an oversized 2.5-car garage. Thoughtful updates throughout the home include a fully remodeled main bathroom (2024) and real hardwood flooring on both the first and second levels-no carpet here. The light-filled kitchen features newly painted white cabinets, stainless steel appliances (fridge, dishwasher, oven, and microwave) all under warranty and purchased in 2019. A newer washer and dryer (2019) are located in a convenient laundry room, and a brand-new water heater was installed in 2024. Additional big-ticket improvements include a full roof replacement (approx. 2016), furnace and AC (approx. 6 years ago), complete vinyl siding replacement (2017), and full window replacement (2016). The basement was upgraded with a battery-backup sump pump and underground discharge system, and the window wells feature shatter-resistant covers. The whole house has been freshly painted. Curb appeal shines with a durable concrete driveway and custom-designed walkway, installed in 2020. Out back, a large deck off the family room offers the perfect place to unwind with peaceful pond views. This home also offers access to top-rated Downers Grove schools and a wide variety of Park District programs for all ages, including residents-only pricing. With three scenic parks within walking distance, a strong sense of community, and an ideal blend of nature, convenience, and modern updates, 1141 Robey Avenue is the kind of place you'll love to call home.
