Most neighborhoods have sidewalks, this one has runways! Welcome to 6861 Washington St where you can have airplanes and have room for all of your cars/toys. Once you experience 1.46 acres, a typical suburban backyard may never feel the same. Set on a beautiful, expansive property tucked away into Downers Grove unique airplane neighborhood, this 4-bedroom ranch offers the kind of land that's getting harder and harder to find-paired with a fantastic layout designed for comfortable everyday living. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the spacious, well-planned floor plan with four bedrooms and plenty of room to gather, entertain, or simply spread out. But the real showstopper is outside. With 1.46 acres, you'll have room for summer parties, backyard games, a garden, chicken coup, firepit nights, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of having your own piece of land. If you have been searching for single-level living without sacrificing space-or dreaming of a property where you are not looking directly into your neighbor's backyard-this is one you need to see in person. A rare combination of land, layout, privacy, location, and convenience.
