This delightful 100-year-old cottage sits on a spacious L-shaped lot and offers something increasingly rare: two genuinely distinct living spaces under one roof. The main house welcomes you with an open, easy flow between the cozy living room - anchored by a full masonry fireplace - and a well-planned kitchen that adjoins the dining area. Granite counters and stainless appliances give the kitchen real style, while generous workspace and a bar-height counter make it a natural gathering spot for cooking and entertaining alike. The family room and primary suite addition function almost like a private wing, with its own entrance, deck, and patio - ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or simply extra breathing room. A stylishly updated bathroom and a coat closet round out this section. Step outside to a deep front porch overlooking the yard, offering a peaceful, private spot to unwind. The finished basement adds great additonal space - perfect for kids' play area, storage, or extra living room. Tucked into a wonderful neighborhood, this home puts you a short trip from downtown Downers Grove and an easy walk to Barth Pond and O'Neill Middle School. Central air in addition and window units in original part of home.
