True Mid-Century Modern in prime Glen Ellyn location! Just steps to Forest Glen Elementary and an easy walk to Lake Ellyn, the Prairie Path, and downtown Glen Ellyn. This 4-bedroom/1.5-bath home has been thoughtfully renovated to combine modern upgrades with timeless mid-century character. Set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot with an expansive garden, this property offers rare indoor/outdoor living. Enjoy a screened-in porch, concrete patio, spacious rooftop deck, and a carport. A complete roof tear-off with new gutters, flashing, and chimney tuckpointing ensures long-term peace of mind, while extensive landscaping and tree removal opened up the yard and created a true outdoor retreat. Inside, the home was completely rewired...every outlet, switch, fixture, and wire upgraded and the fuse box replaced with a modern electric panel. New flooring, trim, walls, and ceilings were added or reconstructed throughout, along with custom solid wood shelving in the primary closet. Original mid-century details, including the vintage steel stair railing, wood-burning fireplace, and radiant heated floors, were preserved to honor the home's architectural character. The kitchen features tall solid wood cabinets, Sub-Zero refrigerator, newer appliances, and a walk-in butlers pantry with custom shelving, pocket door, coffee bar, and beverage fridge. A new gas shutoff was added for safety and makes it simple to extend service to the garage, office/workshop, or to convert to a gas range if desired. The dining space flows seamlessly into the living room, anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A clever under-stair built-in TV nook with hidden wiring and extra storage makes this the perfect space for family movie nights or entertaining. Bathrooms have been fully remodeled with designer tile, Kohler fixtures, and a new shower trim kit. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms each feature new windows, flooring, trim, and deep closets with custom shelving. The primary suite was reconfigured to allow for an oversized closet. One bedroom opens directly onto the rooftop deck for flexible use as a den, office, or guest room, while another has a custom built-in solid wood desk with shelving. Plans and architectural drawings are available for a future primary suite addition. The office/workshop includes a built-in desk, backlit shelving, high-powered outlets and charging stations, with direct access to the carport. Drain tile and was added around the perimeter of the workshop leaving no detail spared. Mechanicals include a 50-gallon hot water tank (2024), radiant heated floors with copper piping, and future-ready gas lines for central air or furnace installation. With its thoughtful renovations, preserved mid-century character, and seamless indoor/outdoor living, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Mid-Century Modern home in one of Glen Ellyn's most desirable walk-to-everything locations.
