Welcome to this stunning, well maintained 1930s home, a true gem in the heart of Downers Grove!

Step inside the welcoming entry and be captivated by the beautiful, original woodwork throughout, featuring detailed quarter-sawn oak finishes. The inviting living room with showcase brick fireplace opens to the formal dining room boasting elegant, boxed beams and a cozy window seat with a custom cushion, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon reading. A charming swinging door separates the completely updated and cheerful kitchen from the dining room, adding a touch of vintage allure. Enjoy your family room get away with full wall of windows and glass doors to living room. Retreat upstairs to the three bedrooms dripping with charm. Detailed door lintels, solid paneled doors, and crystal doorknobs transport you to a bygone era, while the grand staircase showcases handcrafted newel posts, riser posts, and handrails that add to the home's rich character. Do not miss the full basement and glorious private back yard with good size deck, garage and plenty of space to play. Situated just steps from Prince Pond, you'll enjoy year-round outdoor activities. In summer, the pond is stocked for fishing, while in winter, the Downers Grove Park District ensures the pond is freshly cleared for ice skating. You may even catch sight of the mini-Zamboni maintaining the ice-a neighborhood tradition! In just 10-12 minutes, stroll to the Downers Grove Main Street train station, with express access to downtown Chicago in 25 minutes. The vibrant downtown area is also within walking distance, offering a variety of restaurants, bookstores, the library, and seasonal events like the Farmer's Market, festivals, parades, and Car Nights. Conveniently located to all. Such a rich history: Part of the original 1892 E.H. Prince subdivision (though built later, in 1930), this home is surrounded by other historical homes, including an original house and a Sears home, adding to the timeless ambiance of the neighborhood. The home itself stands as a testament to the care and stewardship of its previous owners, with its rich architectural details still intact. Don't miss the chance to own this truly unique, historic property that combines the craftsmanship of yesteryear with the convenience of modern-day Downers Grove living!
