406 N Montclair Ave., Glen Ellyn, IL 60137

If you love historic homes rich with character, then you'll love this 1930 vintage charmer. It was featured in The Village of Glen Ellyn's Architectural Survey as a good example of English Cottage-inspired Tudor Revival. And you'll love its location - -an idyllic setting among mature trees on a quiet block only a short walk to charming downtown Glen Ellyn, train, highly-rated schools (Ben Franklin Elementary & Glenbard West High School), parks and Illinois Prairie Path. This solidly built brick home still retains the original period details & character, both outside and in. The brick 1st story and decorative half timbering under the front and side gables are typical of Tudor residential exteriors. The round-arch wood plank door and the false-thatched roof are identifying features of the more picturesque English Cottage type. Original details in the interior include graceful archways, brick surround wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors under carpet, glass door knobs, built-in cubbies, and vintage tiled bathroom. Light-filled and lovingly owned by the same family since the 1950s, this cozy home has a surprisingly open floor plan with easy flow between living room, dining room and kitchen. Charming raised sun porch provides additional space for relaxing in light-filled room with expansive windows on three sides. Upstairs features two bedrooms, a third bedroom perfect for nursery or home office and a full bath with its well-maintained original 1930 tile, fixtures and sconces. So much potential to update this well-built home and make it yours on one of the best blocks in Glen Ellyn. Character and location, this house has much to offer the savvy buyer who realizes its value. Home being sold "as is".
