Property Description

Charming Ranch on Expansive 1/2 Acre Lot - Endless Potential! This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own nearly a half-acre in unincorporated Downers Grove, blending vintage character with a prime location. Whether you are looking for a charming home to polish, are a hobbyist in need of a professional-grade workspace, or a builder seeking the perfect lot for a custom estate, this property offers incredible versatility. The residence features two bedrooms and maintains its allure with beautiful original hardwood floors, wide base trim, and doors, accented by charming glass doorknobs. The bright living room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, flows seamlessly through patio doors to an oversized deck overlooking a massive 66x300ft lot. High eight-foot ceilings, a central dining room, and an enclosed porch add to the spacious feel. The full basement provides a bonus office space-perfect for today's remote work needs or a craft space-and the home does not lack for storage, featuring several crawl spaces to keep everything organized. The home features several notable updates, including a new roof in 2020, an electrical system update in 2010, and vinyl siding replaced in 2015. For the maker or car enthusiast, the detached two-car garage is a standout feature; it was upgraded in 2023 with new concrete floors and is fully insulated, heated, and powered to serve as a year-round studio or workshop. The sprawling grounds are a gardener's retreat, complete with raised garden beds, established flower beds, a double shed for storage, and a fire pit area for evening relaxation. The location offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Situated in an area featuring many new custom luxury homes, you benefit from a Downers Grove mailing address and lower unincorporated taxes while remaining less than two miles from the vibrant downtown area, the BNSF Metra station, and I-355. The property is also conveniently close to local schools and a recreation trail, and already connected to public water and sewer. Being conveyed as-is, this is a fantastic chance to make this charming home yours or utilize the fabulous lot to build a dream estate from the ground up!
