212 Sunset Ave.

What an amazing opportunity. Situated on the highly desired Sunset Avenue, surrounded by beautiful homes walking distance to downtown Glen Ellyn, the train station, restaurants, shops, Sunset Pool and Lincoln Elementary, this location can't be beat. But that's just the beginning... Built in 1928, this charming home has known only three owners. Pride of ownership is reflected in every detail - not only in terms of care, but also design. Every update the sellers made was carefully planned out for maximum efficiency and durability, making their meticulousness your great reward. On the main floor, the spacious eat-in kitchen includes some newer appliances, filtered water, a pantry, and access to the back door leading to your patio - where you will enjoy your summer barbecues with the backdrop of your exquisitely landscaped back yard (as reflected in our exterior pictures, which were taken in September). The dining room is conveniently located next to the kitchen, and is adjacent to a cheerful and cozy sunroom. A 1986 addition yields a family room with bay windows overlooking your back yard. There is also a powder room on this floor. At the front of the home, the living room has a vintage mid-century aesthetic consistent with its age, and a wood-burning fireplace. The solid double-bolt front door and storm door are recently installed. There are three bedrooms upstairs, with the potential to divide bedroom #3 to add another small fourth bedroom or an office (as it was originally). The primary bedroom is graced with two bay windows overlooking the back yard; has generous closet space, including a walk-in, plus a desk nook, and master bath. The shared upstairs bath is undeniably vintage and immaculately maintained. The attic, accessible by stairs, yields more generous space for you to use as you wish, and has a window providing natural light. Hardwood floors extend throughout most of the home (covered by carpeting upstairs). A full and DRY (thanks to French drains by Everdry) basement is full of possibilities, and includes a finished flex room with engineered hardwood floors. There is even a "quarter bathroom," which can be expanded to a full bath. All windows are in excellent condition, having been replaced as needed, and the roof was new in 2018. The well-thought-out security system provides the option for extra peace of mind. Priced to allow room for your choice of updates, this is hands down a rare opportunity for a wise real estate choice. Someone will be the lucky buyer, and we hope it's you!
