Nearly 1/2 ACRE in DOWERS GROVE -- Move-In Ready & Priced to Move! Rarely available: a beautifully updated 3-bed, 2.5-bath home on an expansive 0.43-acre lot in one of Downers Grove's most sought-after pockets, served by Henry Puffer Elementary, Herrick Middle and acclaimed Downers Grove North High School. The open-concept main level is built for how people actually live. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island and a built-in wet bar/coffee station, and it flows right into the living area. The separate dining room centers on a classic wood-burning fireplace, made for cozy dinners and holiday hosting. A powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms include a refreshed primary suite with a walk-in closet and private full bath. The (2026) finished walkout basement gives you flexible space for a rec room, home office or gym, plus a dedicated laundry room and storage. Then step outside, because the yard is the showstopper. There's a huge deck w/lights for outdoor entertaining, shed, room for gardens, play, and future plans. An oversized 2 car detached garage and a long asphalt driveway mean parking is never an issue. Just a mile to the Belmont Metra station, with easy access to parks, downtown Downers Grove dining and I-88/I-355. Homes on lots like this rarely come up. Roof (2025), Siding (2024), A/C Main Level (2023), Kitchen Appliances (2020), New SubPump and Backup Battery (2026) and much more updates.
