Multiple Offers received. HIGHEST & BEST due by 9:00 Sunday 2/15. This is not your typical raised ranch. Check out the floor plans to appreciate the extra rooms and functional layout that sets this home apart.

The main level offers a living room, dining room, family room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a small sunroom that works well as a reading nook or plant room. The walkout basement adds valuable living space with a second family room featuring a gas-start fireplace, a 4th bedroom, a second full bathroom, and a large utility room. Outside, enjoy a newly updated two-story deck and a fenced yard, providing plenty of space to relax or entertain. Major mechanical updates include a roof replaced in 2021 along with a new dishwasher and refrigerator. Located in highly rated Wheaton School District 200; Lincoln Elementary, Edison Middle School, and Wheaton Warrenville South High School. Conveniently situated just 1.3 miles from the College of DuPage and less than 3 miles to I-355.
