Property Description

This extraordinary 2018 custom-built home is truly one of a kind, meticulously crafted to blend luxurious living, seamless entertaining and a harmonious connection of indoor and outdoor spaces. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to inspire joy and elevate your lifestyle. An award winning powerhouse team brought this design to life: Michael Abraham Architecture, Oakley Home Builders, Park & Oak Interior Design and PB Kitchen Design. Adding to this home's allure is the fact that it sits on an expansive 90 x 228 lot, a rarity in Glen Ellyn. The property's unique positioning, with no neighboring home directly behind it, offers an unparalleled sense of privacy and openness, a feature seldom found just blocks from charming downtown Glen Ellyn. This is your chance to own a newer, impeccably built custom home without the stress of long construction timelines, unpredictable costs, or endless design decisions. 281 Forest Ave isn't just a gorgeous home, it is truly an exceptional residence. Don't miss this rare opportunity! There are simply too many unique features to list. Please reach out to get more information or to schedule your private showing.
