About this home
A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTRY IN THE HEART OF DOWNERS GROVE! Set on an extraordinary 1.1+ acre property, 4708 Roslyn Road has the kind of personality and setting that are increasingly hard to find. This cheerful yellow farmhouse-style home is surrounded by magnificent mature trees, gardens and wonderfully unexpected outdoor spaces that make the property feel like its own little world. Oaks, maples, birch, magnolia and pine trees create a beautiful backdrop, while hydrangeas, iris, raspberry bushes, a peach tree and a grapevine-covered arbor add color and charm throughout the seasons. There is room to garden, gather, play and simply enjoy the outdoors...along with the deer, foxes and other wildlife that occasionally wander through. A huge recently refreshed deck extends the living outdoors, while the barn-inspired detached garage with second-level storage and a charming hen house add even more character to this special setting. Inside, a vaulted screened porch provides the perfect perch for morning coffee or watching the neighborhood go by. The home continues with formal living and dining spaces, three main-level bedrooms and a wonderfully nostalgic kitchen with painted cabinetry and a Kohler sink. The recently renovated full bath features beautiful flooring and classic subway tile, while a convenient mudroom and generous walk-in pantry connect naturally to the backyard and deck. Downstairs, the expansive unfinished basement offers plenty of additional space and possibilities for recreation, hobbies, an office or future finished living areas. Built in 1924, this is a home with history, warmth and plenty of opportunity to personalize over time. And what a location! Tucked between Chicago and Maple Avenues with convenient access to downtown Downers Grove, Westmont and Hinsdale, plus Ogden Avenue shopping and dining, Metra and major transportation routes. 1.1+ acres...a charming home...a barn-like garage...beautiful gardens...and room to dream. Come see what makes 4708 Roslyn Road so wonderfully different!
