Discover the potential of this long-time family-owned home, nestled in this highly sought-after neighborhood of Downers Grove. This property offers endless possibilities, whether you restore its original charm or explore expansion options on the spacious lot. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout most rooms, offering a solid foundation for your renovation ideas. The home features a newer furnace (2020) and roof (2019) but bringing it back to its former glory will require attention. One unique advantage of this property is the additional 10 feet at the southwest section of the lot designed to add a driveway leading to a future garage easily. A plat map and flood certification are found in the additional information section. Although part of the lot is located within a flood zone, the attached flood certification confirms that no flood insurance is required. This is your chance to create something special in a popular and vibrant community. Whether you're looking to expand, rebuild, or renovate, this home offers a rare opportunity to shape a space that reflects your style and vision. Don't miss out on this gem in Downers Grove!
