350 Ridgewood Avenue

This in town Glen Ellyn one-level, easy living home sits in the middle of a quiet block near the public library. The darling brick and stone cottage beckons you to enter and upon so, welcomes you home. Charming bookcases, fireplace and a coved plaster ceiling come aglow by morning sun filtering through the dining room bay window and later in the day from the front south facing bay. Hardwood floors flow throughout the original house. To the left from the living room are the bedrooms and full bath. Heading through the dining area is a chef's kitchen ready to function for large or intimate meals and an island ready for multiple tasks, maybe rolling dough and cutting cookies with friends or family? A central hallway connects to the private sleeping area hall. Between the bedrooms and kitchen is the extra convenient half bath, laundry closet and boiler.This circular flow connecting the respective spaces is the optimum layout for any house. The original house of nearly 1400 square feet has the basics covered and then comes the captivating surprise... the breathtaking 600 sq. ft. 3-season room with a soaring cathedral ceiling and custom details including a loft under the cupola. Designed by the retired architect owner and built in 2012, this space was created to be light, airy and inspiring with detailed beams, abundant windows, skylights, and the charming fireplace mantle salvaged from another Glen Ellyn home. Labeled the "garden room" on the drawings for beautiful views of the gardens created by his wife from a blank slate. Abundant perennials and shrubs offer something blooming from spring to fall and winter interest. A most darling shed was also made custom with its own front porch and trellis. The house offers abundant storage options from multiples closets to many built-ins and a floored walkable attic accessed by pull down ladder for storage or your other ideas...
