Home Details for 240 W Saint Charles Road

Meticulously Renovated 2-story charmer in the Heart of Elmhurst. Easily walk to downtown Elmhurst and Spring Rd to enjoy all things Elmhurst. Rare opportunity to own a beautifully transformed 1924 home where classic character meets modern living. Situated on a generous lot in one of Elmhurst's most sought-after neighborhoods. Walk right up to your natural bluestone front porch and stay awhile. This light and airy 4-bedroom, 3 full bath residence has been comprehensively updated from the inside out. The current owners have invested in a decade-long, thoughtful renovation that touches every major system and surface. The full interior overhaul delivered new copper plumbing, updated electrical throughout, refinished hardwood floors, new herringbone slate tile flooring in the kitchen and mudroom, and a refreshed fireplace with gas logs. The kitchen features custom warm white inset cabinetry and marble countertops. All three bathrooms are fully renovated. The basement received its full facelift within the last 24 months. The living room received custom built-in storage and a designer touch with the addition of crown molding and rich millwork. Solid core wood doors with charming glass doorknobs complete the polished aesthetic. Curb appeal here is anything but an afterthought. The striking bluestone front porch with a cedar shake roof sets a sophisticated tone, complemented by a handsome front dormer addition, durable Hardie siding, and freshly painted brick - all installed in 2018. New gutters and refurbished original wood windows with triple-track storm windows keep the home tight and efficient year-round. Peace of mind comes standard: the entire clay sewer line was replaced with PVC (2017), a new air conditioning system was installed (2020), a new water heater added (2021), and a brand-new furnace was installed in 2025. Nothing has been left to chance. The lower level was fully renovated in 2024, featuring luxury vinyl flooring throughout - creating the perfect space for a recreation room, home office, or guest retreat. A updated one-and-a-half-car detached garage (2018) provides ample storage and covered parking. Outside, professionally completed landscaping (2019) features a paver turnaround parking pad and a beautiful backyard patio - ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. Custom closet racking on the second floor and a classic carpet runner on the stairs add stylish function throughout. This was not a flip; it was a true labor of love for and by the owners. Move in with confidence knowing every major system, surface, and detail has been updated and modernized. Enjoy this fabulous home in its unbeatable location. Homes like this don't come along often...
