Property Description

Introducing 426 E Prairie Ave, on the market for the first time since it was built in 1960. Situated on a premium elevated corner lot, this rustic Scandinavian cottage offers a rare opportunity to update, expand, or build new on one of Wheaton's best streets. The interior is highlighted by hand-cut wood-beamed ceilings and trim, adding warmth and character throughout. At the center of the home, a two-level brick-clad fireplace is wrapped by spiral stairs leading to the upper level. Upstairs are two generous size bedrooms and a full bath. The main level has a third bedroom or office, plus the kitchen, living room, dining room, and another full bath. The full basement is partially finished on one side with a rec room and desk area, and the other side is unfinished storage. Prairie Ave is one of those streets where you slow down just to look. The home is surrounded by some of the most beautiful houses in Wheaton, and it's an easy walk to Lawson Field, Hawthorne Elementary, and Wheaton College. Downtown Wheaton's shops and restaurants are a short drive away. Homes on this block rarely come to market, and this is a chance to make your own mark on it.
