Almost Half-Acre Lot, Unincorporated Lower Taxes, Hinsdale South High School, and a Professionally Rebuilt Home with Exceptional Outdoor Space. Opportunities like this don't come around often in Downers Grove. Set on an impressive .46-acre lot, this rare property offers space, privacy, and a beautifully rebuilt home designed for modern living. Located in an unincorporated area with lower taxes and within the highly sought-after district of Hinsdale South High School, this is a unique find. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2.5 car garage home was professionally rebuilt and expanded in 2017 with a focus on natural light and open living. An abundance of windows fills the interior with sunlight, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is both functional and thoughtfully designed, featuring classic shaker cabinetry, floating shelving, and a true walk-in pantry with extensive storage along with updated appliances. It opens directly into the vaulted living room, creating a spacious and connected main living area ideal for everyday use and entertaining. The primary suite occupies its own private level and spans approximately 500 square feet, offering a true retreat. This expansive space includes two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath complete with a soaking tub, double sinks, and elegant French doors. The walkout basement adds flexibility with a large recreational room, oversized laundry area with newer washer and dryer, extensive storage, and a dedicated workbench space. A mudroom area just off the walkout provides a practical drop zone for daily routines. Outside, the nearly half-acre lot is a standout feature. The fully fenced yard includes three decks, a patio, and a large, established walk-in garden ready for use. Mature landscaping enhances the setting, creating a private and serene outdoor environment. The location offers the best of both convenience and lifestyle with quick access to I-355 and I-55 for commuting while maintaining a residential feel. Nearby shopping, dining, parks, and forest preserves, along with access to Metra train service into downtown Chicago, make this an ideal setting for everyday living and long term value.
