Listing Description
Fantastic opportunity to build on this 96x290 in-town Glen Ellyn lot! Located among luxury homes, on a quiet, tree-lined street, this hidden gem is a fantastic investment. Walking distance to Churchill Elementary- only school in D41 offering the highly sought dual language immersion program. Currently standing is a classic Mid-Century Modern home, built in 1956 by MacDougall Builders for the original owner, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath expanded split level is positioned its beautifully maintained lot! The unique "U" shaped configuration allows for a center, outdoor courtyard accessible from the dining and living rooms. The courtyard patio continues to wrap around the backside of the home - visible from the living room. With no interior support walls on the first and second floors (the large beams in the ceiling give support NOT the vertical walls), the home can be completely reconfigured to accommodate a 1st floor open concept and rooms on 2nd floor rearranged. The 1st and 2nd levels both feature 9ft ceiling height and the expected MCM architectural details of tongue and groove wood ceilings, handsome wood beams and accent walls of common brick. The spacious walk-out basement has large sliding glass doors that lead to a shaded patio and provides additional access (3 steps up) to another recessed patio leading to the landscaped backyard. The 2nd floor features 4 bedrooms, 1 ensuite bath and 2 additional full baths. The rear bedroom has a balcony overlooking the backyard. The 3-car, attached garage (w/rear service door to backyard) is oversized to provide plenty of storage space. From the garage you enter into a large mudroom.
