You'll fall in love this gorgeous, 2-story, low-maintenance townhome in the highly desirable Villas of Maple Woods. From the volume ceilings to the gleaming hardwood floors, you'll adore the layout and finishes in almost 3400 sq ft of living space. Curb appeal for the 'win' with the upscale brick and stone facade, and take note of the professional landscaping as you travel down this cute, secret gem of a street in DG. Once inside the foyer you are greeted by an open formal dining area and a private front-of-house bedroom/office/den. Saunter through to the spacious, two-story family room with a wall full of windows, fireplace with a grand mantle, and floorspace to fit even the largest furniture. There's an open sightline to the oversized eat-in area of the kitchen and yes, a delicious cookery that features 42" custom cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and plenty of places for tableware, pots/pans and all your kitchen goods. Offering an impressive visual, the open custom wood staircase takes you to the second floor from the family room. Upstairs, the primary suite boasts a vaulted ceiling and a long spa-like bathroom leading to an even longer walk-in closet. The second bedroom also features a vaulted ceiling, walk-in and an en suite bath. There's a whole other world of living space in the finished basement. Bedroom, full bath, living/rec area, another kitchen (with cabinets, full-sized fridge, microwave, sink and countertop seating), storage, and a bonus room that can be utilized as a workout space, additional office or other. The sizable screened-in porch off the back is a natural extension of the kitchen area and a way to enjoy outdoor living at its best. Down the stairs from the porch is a beautiful paver patio space with landscape wall for additional outside leisure. White plantation shutters, wainscoting in all the right places, transom windows, French doors, custom closet systems, recessed lighting, and fabulous molding throughout take this tastefully traditional home to a whole other level. Epoxy garage floor and handy custom garage cabinets with workspace area in the garage. All the upgraded touches put this property beyond! Meticulously maintained by original owner (only occupied since 2013). Freshly painted throughout to get ready for next owner. Just over one mile to Belmont Metra train, 2 miles to Downtown Downers Grove, easy access to 355/88 and close to all the conveniences this wonderful community has to offer.
