What’s special
Central air
Build your dream home or renovate this solid starter on a quiet, low-traffic cul-de-sac surrounded by friendly neighbors. Located in the highly sought-after Field Elementary (new state-of-the-art school) and Sandburg Middle School districts. Endless potential to expand or create a custom home, or rehab the existing brick home into a charming 3-bedroom residence. Prime location-just 1 mile to downtown Elmhurst and the train, and only 1 block to Field Elementary. Incredible opportunity at an attractive price in a strong, established neighborhood.
