Property Description

Rare, substantially rebuilt custom ranch offering 3,813 sq ft of finished living space on a 227' x 100' / 0.52-acre lot in Congress Knolls, a quiet unincorporated DuPage County enclave near Oak Brook, Elmhurst and Glen Ellyn. Close to expressways, shopping, parks and major western suburban amenities. Understated from the street, this home opens to a surprisingly expansive, beautifully finished interior and a private park-like rear setting. Current taxes are $13,154. A lower unincorporated tax profile, municipal sewer, private water system and no municipal water bill create a rare ownership-cost advantage for a home of this size, quality and location.

The finished walkout lower level has 9' ceilings, radiant floor heat, a 28' x 35' great room, kitchenette, surround sound, premium acoustic ceiling, solid slab granite bath, fireplace and direct courtyard access. This space works for guests, fitness, media, entertaining or multi-generational flexibility.
