Real Estate: What $675,000 Buys You in Downers Grove

This five-bedroom home, located at 806 Maple Ave. in Downers Grove, was built in 1839 as one of the first Maple Avenue estates.

Each of the home's rooms features elegant, detailed architecture that blends the past and present. The house has hardwood floors throughout, an unfinisihed basement, a large kitchen and dining space, and a three-car carriage house with a studio apartment ready for finishing.

Homebuyers may like this property because it is located just steps from the Metra, shops and restaurants of downtown Downers Grove, according to the listing from Baird and Warner (presented by Tamy Bobbitt). 

The bungalow is currently listed at $675,000.
