About this home
Thoughtfully Updated Vintage Charmer in Coveted East Highlands, Just Steps from Downtown Naperville This remarkable home is a true blend of timeless character and modern updates-thoughtfully renovated to today's standards while faithfully preserving its vintage charm. Located in the highly sought-after East Highlands neighborhood, just a short walk to vibrant downtown Naperville, the Riverwalk, Metra, shopping, dining, and award-winning District 203 schools, this property offers the best of location and lifestyle. From the curb, the inviting street view only hints at what lies within. Enter through a beautiful leaded glass door into a spacious living and dining area, where gleaming hardwood floors and an abundance of natural light from tilt-out Marvin windows create a warm and welcoming ambiance. A main-floor bedroom and adjacent full bath provide flexible living-perfect as a guest suite or a private work-from-home office. The kitchen and eating area are the heart of the home, featuring a cozy fireplace, white tile backsplash, stainless steel farm sink, vented range hood, LG refrigerator, and a high-performance DCS gas range. French glass doors lead to a vaulted, pine-paneled screened porch-a serene, all-season retreat overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile flex room with a second fireplace and direct access to the porch-ideal for use as a den, library, or study. Nearby, a tucked-away space makes for a great second office. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue throughout. The spacious primary suite includes a full en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and a sitting area or creative space. Each of the additional bedrooms offers its own unique charm, from vaulted ceilings to built-in seating. The basement adds incredible functionality with a large recreation area, laundry room with brick accent wall, separate storage and work areas, and a fourth half-bath-significantly expanding the usable square footage. Mechanical and design upgrades include 3-zoned HVAC, dual water heaters, gutter guards, sandblasted and repainted exterior, 6-panel doors, pedestal sinks, a clawfoot tub, and customized St. Charles Closets. Vintage details like picture rail, generous baseboards, classic moldings, and a built-in hutch lend timeless beauty throughout. Situated in one of Naperville's most beloved neighborhoods, this home showcases the top-quality craftsmanship and architectural integrity demanded by its past and present owner. This is more than a home; it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of East Highlands charm with every modern comfort.
