Step through the gate of the white picket fence and along the welcoming front walkway into a home that feels straight out of a storybook. This 3 bed, 2.5 bath Cape Cod has been thoughtfully updated with modern conveniences while maintaining its timeless charm. The spacious main floor offers a formal living room, a beautifully updated kitchen, a large dining area, and a full bath. Two main level bedrooms provide flexibility, one with its own private half bath and the other with access to the huge back deck overlooking the tranquil backyard. The full basement includes a newer washer and dryer, abundant storage, room for exercise equipment and a workspace, and is ready for finishing. Upstairs, the recently remodeled second floor is filled with natural light. A cozy den with built in daybed adjoins the stunning primary suite creating the perfect spot for a home office, or nursery. The primary suite itself is a true retreat, featuring a spa-like bathroom, oversized walk-in closet custom shelving, and the convenience of a second laundry room. Situated in one of Downers Grove's most desirable neighborhoods, with Whittier Elementary, Herrick Middle School, and Downers Grove North High School nearby.
