Description

This beautifully maintained white brick ranch home in highly sought-after North Downers Grove is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Sunny Hill Estates and backs directly to scenic Whitlock Park. Set on a nearly half-acre private, wooded lot, the home offers the rare combination of one-level living, privacy, and park-like surroundings - a true find in this area. Inside, the welcoming foyer opens to a bright and airy family room, dining room, kitchen, and sitting room, all showcasing beautiful exterior views. Solid hardwood floors extend throughout most of the home, enhancing the warmth and timeless appeal ranch buyers seek. The hallway offers abundant closet space and leads to three bedrooms and a spacious, updated hall bath with a large vanity and whirlpool tub/shower. The primary bedroom features a charming bow window, private bath, and serene views of the yard-ideal for comfortable main-level living. Step outside through the patio doors to enjoy a premium custom brick paver patio, matching walkways, professional landscaping, and mature trees-perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the peaceful park setting. Brick pavers also enhance the front entry and extend across the generous driveway, offering ample parking for guests. The full unfinished basement provides excellent expansion potential, with a laundry area, sink, newer HVAC equipment, and extensive storage in the fully sealed crawlspace-ideal for buyers seeking flexibility for future living space or hobbies. Lovingly cared for by long-term owners, this home features numerous quality updates over the years (see full list in the Additional Info tab), including windows and doors, roof, furnace, A/C, humidifier, epoxy-coated garage floor, Leafguard gutters, hardwood floors, and appliances. Ideally located just minutes from top-rated North Downers Grove schools, Metra access, parks, shopping, dining, Yorktown and Oak Brook Malls, and with easy access to tollways and airports. Nearby, the new Talon Preserve subdivision with planned $1M+ homes further reinforces the neighborhood's long-term value. Ranch homes in this location rarely come available-this is a special opportunity to own a truly exceptional home in one of Downers Grove's most desirable neighborhoods.
