Fantastic opportunity in a desirable Downers Grove neighborhood! Offered for the first time by the original owner, this well-built home offers great bones, incredible potential, and one of the best lots in the neighborhood! Situated on a quiet, partial cul-de-sac, the property features a spacious front yard and beautiful backyard. Built in 1973, the home features a traditional floor plan with separate living, dining, and family rooms, offering plenty of space and flexibility. Similar homes in the neighborhood have been beautifully transformed with more open floor plans, providing inspiration for what is possible! The seller recently removed the carpeting, exposing hardwood floors throughout most of the main level and the entire second floor. Several important updates have already been completed, including HVAC (2018), a roof approximately 8 years old, and Andersen windows on the second floor (2021). While cosmetic updates are needed, this home presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers to bring their vision and personal touches to a solid home in an established neighborhood. A rare opportunity to make this home your own!
