Adorable, updated, and move-in ready, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath split-level home is perfectly situated in the heart of Glen Ellyn-just steps from downtown. A fully remodeled, light-filled kitchen is the showstopper, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, designer lighting, and double glass sliding doors that flood the space with natural light. The main level boasts rich hardwood flooring, a spacious living room, and a large dining area that seamlessly combines with the kitchen-ideal for entertaining. A versatile main-level bedroom with an en-suite bath is currently styled as a home office/guest room with a daybed. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space, and a classy full bath. The lower level adds another 600 square feet of flexible living space, perfect for a cozy family room and a playroom or workout area, complete with a half bath and laundry. Additional highlights include a clean and expansive crawlspace for storage, whole-house generator, newer siding and roof, new concrete patio and walkways, updated light fixtures and switches, two flat-screen TVs, a second refrigerator, and a storage shed. A commuter's dream-Metra station is 3 blocks away. This home offers a fresh, stylish feel in one of Glen Ellyn's most walkable locations.
