Set amongst the towering oak trees on Riford Road and within blocks to downtown Glen Ellyn, Glenbard West High School and Lake Ellyn Park, sits this stellar solid ranch with 1532 square feet above grade. It features a wonderful floor plan with a formal living room, eat-in kitchen that is adjacent to the family room with masonry fireplace, dining area and access to the side porch, a partially finished basement as well as a 1.5 car detached garage. Recent updates include updated first floor bathrooms, windows and siding (2018) and replaced furnace/central air system(2017). Plus there is hardwood flooring under the carpet on the first floor. This home has the sought after combination of a top in-town location, wonderful flow/space and has been lovingly maintained!
