In the heart of downtown Glen Ellyn stands a rare treasure: a 1920s brick bungalow with only two owners in 105 years. With original oak moldings & doors and nine-foot ceilings, this home radiates timeless character-yet it has been thoughtfully renewed for today’s lifestyle. Recent updates include a 50A ChargePoint EV charger (2024), a full tear-off Owens Corning roof (2022), and custom wood radiator covers (2019). Three new Velux skylights (2018) flood the upstairs with light, while a new air handler and condenser (2016) ensure comfort. The stunning kitchen renovation (2014) introduced Caesarstone quartz, Dutch Maid custom cabinetry, cork flooring, and Whirlpool White Ice appliances. Hardwood floors were refinished in 2013, and aluminum clad Marvin windows (2007) frame every view. Earlier upgrades include a lower-level recreation area with copper piping (2000) and a full attic expansion with two bedrooms, a great room, and bath (1994). With 2,500 square feet of finished living space, four bedrooms plus a bonus room, and a walk-in pantry, this home offers both beauty and function. Enjoy morning coffee on the back porch overlooking perennial gardens, then stroll to Lake Ellyn, the Prairie Path and the village’s charming shops and restaurants. Families will also appreciate the award-winning schools and the easy access to the Metra as well. A storybook home, rooted in history yet ready for the future-will you be its third steward?
