4740 Linscott Ave.

This 1927 Dutch Colonial is full of charm and up-to-date classic features. Situated on a historic brick street, this stylish home is clad in beautiful James Hardie siding installed with other recent updates such as 50 new windows, new exterior doors, and aluminum gutters, soffits, and fascia (2014). A stone front patio offers a shady place to relax. The aluminum fenced-in back yard and mature trees offer privacy for the patio (2015) with space for shooting hoops and easy access to the detached two-car garage (new in 2001 and with enough power to charge your EV). Other outdoor amenities include new landscaping and a blacktop driveway (2018). Additional outdoor living space is provided via a Trex roof deck with pergola and retractable sunshades. The steps to the back porch are also Trex (2018). At the front porch, you'll be greeted by blue stone steps and an arts and craft style front door. Inside, the entryway leads to a spacious living room with an updated, remote controlled gas fire place, built in shelves, and window seats that encase the radiators for hot water heat (new boiler in 2007). And you'll also be cool in the summer with the space-saving central air system installed in 2001 (new air handler in 2016). The main floor also includes a dining room, a sun room, a half bath, and a kitchen that was completely remodeled in 2015. Upstairs, you'll encounter a large primary bedroom with one walk-in and one smaller closet. The second bedroom includes a loft for extra living space. Access to the roof deck is from the third bedroom. The full bath is also upstairs, with both bathrooms being completely remodeled in 2015. This lovely home has refinished white oak hardwood floors except in the bathrooms, which are ceramic tile. The washer and dryer are in the professionally waterproofed, walk-out basement, which also includes a radon mitigation system, sump pump, new main sewer line (with outside cleanout), and new copper water line. Other safety features include wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. One block from Prince Pond, this desirable move-in ready home is walking distance to all three public schools, St. Joseph's, downtown Downers Grove and is in a splendid location for anyone wanting to make Downers Grove their home.
