## Description

### Agent Description
This spacious and well-maintained Downers Grove home offers a functional layout, quality updates, and a location that's hard to beat. Welcome to 1705 Hawkins Avenue, tucked into a quiet neighborhood just north of 75th Street and close to schools, shopping, restaurants, and expressway access. Inside, the welcoming foyer opens to a bright living room and dining area with newly refinished hardwood floors that continue through the main living spaces. The kitchen features updated countertops, plenty of cabinet space, and a convenient first-floor laundry closet. A sunny breakfast area with a large picture window overlooks the backyard and brings in great natural light throughout the day. The family room offers vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with gas start, and sliding glass doors leading directly to the deck, making the space ideal for everyday living and gatherings alike. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, private full bathroom, and separate vanity area. Two additional bedrooms feature generous closet space and ceiling fans, while the hall bathroom includes a tub and linen closet for additional storage. The finished basement adds valuable extra living space and can easily function as a recreation room, home office, workout area, or playroom. The fully encapsulated crawl space provides excellent storage and added peace of mind. Outside, the freshly stained deck overlooks the fenced backyard with mature landscaping and an apple tree. Recent updates include a brand new roof and gutters (2026), water heater (2024), sump pump battery backup system with mobile app alerts (2024), ejector pump (2025), refinished hardwood floors (2025), and encapsulated crawl space. Located near Kingsley Elementary, Downers Grove South High School, and major commuter routes including I-355, this home offers a great combination of space, updates, and location.
