Description

Space, privacy, and versatility come together in this four-bedroom, two-bath brick ranch set on an impressive .43-acre fenced lot in Downers Grove. With an oversized three-car garage, multiple covered outdoor living areas, and a finished basement with a 41' x 11' recreation room, this home offers plenty of room to live, entertain, work, and enjoy your favorite hobbies. --Brand-New Roof & Gutters on Sept. 2026-- Inside, the open-concept main living area flows easily between the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The bright white kitchen features contrasting countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a center island with seating, and plenty of space for gathering. Three spacious bedrooms and two full baths are located on the main level, with the third bedroom positioned separately for added flexibility and privacy. Downstairs, the fourth bedroom joins the expansive recreation room-perfect for movie nights, a game room, home gym, office, or additional living space-along with a separate laundry and storage room. New Sump with battery backup (2026). Step outside and enjoy the large covered concrete patio overlooking the fenced backyard, plus an additional covered paver patio along the side of the home. Gas hookup for grill. The huge three-car garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, storage, a workshop, or hobbies. Garage heating system conveyed AS-IS. For extra comfort during Chicagoland winters, the home features both gas forced-air heat (2019) and a hot-water heating system. Conveniently located near downtown Downers Grove, I-355, shopping, dining, parks, recreation, and more, this home offers the space and flexibility to make it your own.
