BEST DEAL IN DOWNERS GROVE! Escape the cookie-cutter subdivisions and step into a rare, private oasis with exclusive Bruce Lake rights! Nestled on a sprawling, tree-lined 0.71-acre lot, this fully reimagined split-level home balances unparalleled outdoor space with high-end interior luxury after being completely renovated to perfection in 2025 and 2026. Set well back from the road behind a deep front yard and a natural buffer of mature trees, this property offers a peaceful, serene retreat that must be experienced in person. The driveway provides generous guest parking and ample room to comfortably turn your vehicles around before heading out. The exterior offers absolute peace of mind with a brand new Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration tear-off roof, new vinyl siding, new windows, trim, gutters, downspouts, soffit, and fascia. With zero deferred maintenance you can just move right in. Inside, beautifully refinished hardwood floors lead to a spectacular chef's kitchen anchoring the main level, fully loaded with premium quartz countertops, custom Shaker cabinetry, a classic mosaic tile backsplash, and sleek stainless steel appliances. The upper-level primary suite serves as a true sanctuary with a spa-inspired bath and ample storage, flanked by three additional bright bedrooms and an updated hall bath. The walkout lower level features a massive 40x15 family room, perfect for entertaining, alongside a finished laundry room and full bath. The expansive, private backyard is a blank canvas for summer BBQs, fireside chats, or a future pool. Best of all, living here grants you private, resident-only access to Bruce Lake. Spend your days enjoying the private beach, playing sand volleyball, fishing, and in the winter, ice skating, all of which offers a true resort-style community lifestyle right in Downers Grove. The home is complete with an oversized two-car garage with a dedicated workshop space. It represents insane value, top-tier updates, and an unmatched lifestyle opportunity.
