Finding the perfect home and neighborhood can be challenging, but look no further! This charming vintage home is just a short walk from downtown Wheaton, where you can enjoy local favorites like My Half of the Sky Coffeeshop, grab a burger and beer at Burger Social, or satisfy your sweet tooth with a treat from Kimmer's Ice Cream. Situated across from Rathje Park, you'll love the scenic walkways, fishing ponds, playground, and baseball field just steps from your door. Inside, the cozy front foyer is perfect for curling up with a good book. The inviting living room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, offers a warm space for entertaining or relaxing.

Upstairs, an enormous master suite awaits, offering serene views of the park and pond, two spacious walk-in closets, and an attached heated sunroom where you can enjoy your morning coffee. While the basement needs some work, it has great potential with additional rooms that could serve as bedrooms or flex spaces, and a roughed-in bathroom ready to be completed as a third bath.
