🏡 **NEW LISTING | Whyrent Real Estate Co. | Rare Downers Grove North Opportunity** 🌳**5875 Walnut Avenue | 100 x 275 Lot (.63 Acres)**

👀 This is a rare chance to secure a premier oversized lot in one of Downers Grove’s most desirable locations—offering **two compelling paths**: renovate and restore, or build new.

✨ **Option 1: Renovate & Reimagine**

A solid home with many of the big-ticket items already completed—ideal for buyers who want space, location, and upside.

**Major Updates Already Done:**

* 🪟 Windows – approx. 4 years
* 🏠 Roof – approx. 5 years
* 🔥 Furnace – approx. 2 years
* 🚿 Water Heater – approx. 2 years
* 🧱 Siding – under 1 year
* ❄️ A/C – approx. 5 years
* 🛏️ 3 Bedrooms | 2 Baths | Basement
* 🚗 Detached 2-Car Garage

Bring your vision and updates to restore the home while enjoying one of the largest residential lots in the area.

🏗️ **Option 2: Build New | Luxury or Custom Spec**

For builders and luxury buyers, this lot is the standout.

**Why This Lot Is Special:**

* 📐 100 ft frontage x 275 ft depth
* 🌳 Mature trees, depth, and privacy
* 🏊 Space for a pool, sports court, outdoor kitchen & more
* 🚧 City water with public sewer available for tie-in
* 📄 Survey available

Perfect for an estate-style luxury home in a neighborhood where opportunities like this are extremely limited.

📍 **Location That Delivers Lifestyle**

* 🎓 Downers Grove North High School
* 🚆 Minutes to Metra BNSF (express to Chicago)
* 🛣️ Easy access to I-355 & I-88
* 🌿 Walkable to multiple parks and trail systems
* 🛍️ Close to Downtown Downers Grove, Oak Brook & Naperville

🔑 **Why This One Stands Out**

✔ Rare oversized lot
✔ Walkable, lifestyle-driven location
✔ Renovation or redevelopment flexibility
✔ Strong mechanical updates already in place
✔ **Motivated seller**

Whether you’re looking to **renovate, rebuild, or redevelop**, opportunities like this in Downers Grove North don’t come along often.
