Located in the desired Deer Creek subdivision, just around the corner from the Downers Grove Swim & Racquet Club, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath split-level offers 1,816 square feet of inviting, thoughtfully designed living space. Hardwood floors run through the main and upper levels, creating a warm and cohesive feel. The open main level is ideal for everyday living and entertaining, with a bright living room anchored by a large bay window, a defined dining area with built-in buffet storage, and sliding doors that open to a deck overlooking the fenced yard. The kitchen is a standout! Featuring white cabinetry, granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances (LG refrigerator, GE range and microwave, Bosch dishwasher). A generous L-shaped island with pendant lighting and seating for four adds both function and style. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom includes a large walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms offer ample storage and natural light. The full bath, remodeled in 2025, features timeless finishes: hexagonal floor tile, sleek black fixtures, a tile-surround shower-tub combo, and a Carrara marble-topped vanity. The lower level, updated in 2021, adds comfortable living space with a cozy family room, luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, and abundant storage. The adjacent laundry area includes a Samsung washer and dryer (2018), utility sink, cabinetry, and convenient access to the attached 2.5-car garage. A second full bath on this level includes a granite-topped vanity and spacious shower. Outside, the home offers a large fenced yard, freshly repoured asphalt driveway (2025), and a tear-off roof replaced in 2017. Perfectly situated near downtown Downers Grove's shops, dining, and Metra station with quick access to I-355, I-88, and I-55. This home blends modern comfort with an unbeatable location.
