Move-in ready and beautifully redesigned, this thoughtfully updated split-level home with a sub-basement sits on an expansive, nearly half-acre lot-a rare find that delivers outdoor space, lots of storage and versatility. Step inside to the heart of the home: a stunning open-concept kitchen and living area, perfect for entertaining or everyday family life. Featuring top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, marble backsplash, and modern cabinetry. A refreshed fireplace adds warmth and charm to the living area, and gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the main spaces, offering timeless appeal and easy maintenance. But it's the backyard that truly sets this home apart. Step outside and discover your own private retreat - nearly half an acre of lush, landscaped beauty framed by mature trees and tranquil natural elements. A charming footbridge spans the creek, adding a storybook touch and creating the perfect setting for gatherings on the private patio, relaxing by the firepit under the stars, and enjoying the occasional visit from deer and ducks. This yard offers an unmatched sense of space, serenity, and connection to nature. The private deck off the primary suite offers elevated views of the entire backyard oasis-ideal for enjoying sunrise coffee or unwinding at sunset - a breathtaking sight. The lower-level family room is ready for your personal touches and opens directly to the outdoor space, further enhancing indoor-outdoor living. Need extra space? The sub-basement provides ample storage or can easily be finished to create an additional living area, home gym, or media room. The heated and foam-insulated two-car garage offers even more flexibility year-round-ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or overflow storage. All of this is located just minutes from downtown Downers Grove, the Metra, restaurants, shopping, and top-rated schools. With its unbeatable combination of indoor comfort, outdoor beauty, and prime location, this home offers a lifestyle that's truly hard to match.
