Property Description

At the heart of the home is an exceptional chef's kitchen designed for gathering, featuring a custom maple island, abundant countertop space, and custom white cabinetry. The kitchen opens to a sun-filled eat-in area with vaulted ceilings. A built-in bar with a beverage refrigerator creates the perfect space for morning coffee, casual meals, or effortless entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, an architecturally stunning three-season room is wrapped in windows with removable panes, easily transforming it into a true screened porch where natural breezes flow from every direction. With direct access to the professionally landscaped backyard, this inviting retreat seamlessly extends outdoor living, opening to an expansive paver patio and generous green space that create the perfect setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, and enjoying the beauty of every season. Set on a .27-acre corner lot, this 4,364-square-foot home offers five bedrooms and three full and one half bathrooms across a thoughtfully designed floor plan. A second staircase off the kitchen, a well-appointed laundry room with side exterior and garage access, a convenient first-floor powder room, and a private first-floor office with gorgeous views complete the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat with an oversized flex space ideal for a sitting room, nursery, or second home office. The suite features tray ceilings, hardwood flooring, a spacious closet with custom organization, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath complete with a skylight, oversized shower, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms offer generous closet space, while the beautifully updated hall bath showcases dual sinks and custom cabinetry. The fully finished English basement, completed in 2020, is filled with natural light and expands the home's living space with a large recreation room, fifth bedroom with closet and windows, full bathroom, and generous storage. Ideally located just .5 miles from the Belmont Metra, minutes to downtown Downers Grove, and within the acclaimed Downers Grove North High School district, this tree-lined cul-de-sac location offers the perfect combination of convenience, quiet neighborhood, and timeless appeal. Recent improvements include a hot water heater with circulation pump (2026), roof (2018), Bosch dishwasher (2026), oven (2025), 200-amp electrical panel, and security system. Additional features list available. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Bending Oaks' most exceptional homes.
