**MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED - Highest and best by Sunday, 6/28, at 5:00 PM to be considered. No escalation riders or love letters will be accepted.** OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING! Will you be the first to answer? Location, lifestyle, and limitless potential all come together in this charming in-town Downers Grove retreat. Nestled on picturesque Sherwood Avenue-one of the community's most beloved streets-this home offers a rare chance to put down roots where community, convenience, and charm come together beautifully. Known throughout the area for its festive Halloween celebrations and neighborhood spirit (even earning recognition in a local news publication), Sherwood Avenue is the kind of street people dream about calling home. Set on an impressive 50' x 165' lot, this home offers endless possibilities for the future. Whether you envision updating the existing home, creating a thoughtful addition, or building your dream home from the ground up, the generous lot size provides the flexibility to make your dream a reality. The walk-up attic provides expansion potential that could accommodate a future primary suite retreat with a full bath. Outside, the beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard offers room to play, entertain, garden, or simply relax. Beautiful perennial gardens put on a colorful show throughout the seasons. Recent improvements include new kitchen sink and counter tops in 2025, a new water heater in 2022, and a new roof and siding in 2015. And did we talk about the location? It's EXCEPTIONAL! Leave the car behind and enjoy an easy stroll to vibrant downtown Downers Grove, where you'll find popular restaurants, boutique shopping, seasonal festivals, the farmers market, the award-winning library, and the historic Tivoli Theatre. Even the award winning schools (Lester Elementary, Herrick Middle School and Downers Grove North HS) are just a few blocks away. Opportunities like this-on streets like Sherwood Avenue-are few and far between, and they're often claimed quickly. Do not hesitate on this one. Welcome home!
