Set far back from the road on a private, nearly 1/2-acre lot across from Churchill Woods Forest Preserve and open green space with walking trails, this 4-bedroom home blends historic character, warmth, and everyday livability in an exceptional setting. Loved by the same family for the past 11 years and filled with generations of memories, the home offers the kind of charm, soul, and small-town connection that is increasingly hard to find. Originally part of the farmland that helped shape this area of town, the property carries a rich local history, with neighboring homes built from parcels of the original land. Actress Janice Rule once lived here during her teenage years, adding yet another unique chapter to this home's remarkable past. Steps to Churchill Elementary School and close to downtown Glen Ellyn, the Metra train, parks, shops, and dining, this location simply works for everyday life. A brick paver front entry welcomes you home, while flexible parking includes a long front driveway plus a private drive off quiet Kenilworth leading to an oversized 2.5-car garage. Inside, warmth and character flow throughout with beautiful hardwood floors, crown molding, and 6-inch wood trim. The inviting living room features a woodburning fireplace and charming built-in nook with bench seating and shelving, while the formal dining room is perfect for gatherings and holidays alike. The farmhouse kitchen offers granite countertops, painted white cabinetry, classic black-and-white finishes, some newer appliances (oven, microwave & dishwasher) and abundant built-ins blending vintage charm with everyday function. A sun-filled family room addition with cathedral ceilings, new skylights with electronic blinds, and newer carpeting overlooks the tree-lined backyard and private patio, creating a peaceful everyday retreat. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including an updated main-level bath with newer LVT flooring, skylight, and fixtures, plus a second full bath upstairs with refreshed finishes ,reglazed tub and flooring. Hardwood floors run through most of the home. Outside, enjoy the fenced backyard with mature trees, lilacs, private patio, and firepit-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the beauty of the seasons. Additional highlights include a large unfinished basement with workbench and newer mechanicals including furnace, hot water heater, and central air and brand new washing machine. From snowy walks through Churchill Woods to spring lilacs filling the property with fragrance, this home has been a place where lasting memories were made. A rare opportunity to own a home filled with history, warmth, character, and an irreplaceable North Glen Ellyn setting. please note one picture of living room shows neutral walls for inspiration only.
