Highlights include an open floor plan, four bedrooms, built-in bookshelves, and hardwood floors throughout the first floor (with hardwood under the upstairs carpet). An inviting enclosed front porch filled with morning light leads into a spacious foyer and living room featuring charming built-ins and an exposed brick chimney, setting the tone for the home's vintage appeal. The living space flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which includes granite countertops, a dedicated coffee station, and appliances all less than 10 years old. A flexible main-floor room works perfectly as a fourth bedroom or home office, conveniently located next to a full bath. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a second full bath. The finished basement provides true additional living space with a large family room, workout area, flex space, half bath, laundry, ample storage, and walkout access to the backyard. Set on an expansive, fully fenced lot, the backyard feels private and serene with mature trees and a terraced garden, an unexpected retreat tucked just beyond the heart of downtown. Living on West Street means enjoying exceptional walking access to downtown Wheaton, the Metra station, French Market, shops, dining, and beloved neighborhood events-all while returning home to a backyard that feels calm and removed from the activity. Recent updates within the last 10 years include: finished basement; refrigerator (2016); oven (2016); windows (2016 & 2019); hot water heater (~2019); dishwasher (2023); first- and second-floor baths (2023); central air (2024); and furnace (2024).
