About This Property
Steeped in Glen Ellyn history and full of timeless farmhouse charm,
this beautifully maintained 1906 home-one of the area's original
farmhouses-offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece
of North Glen Ellyn. Set far back from the road on a private,
nearly 1/2-acre lot across from Churchill Woods Forest Preserve and
open green space with walking trails, this 4-bedroom home blends
historic character, warmth, and everyday livability in an
exceptional setting. Loved by the same family for the past 11 years
and filled with generations of memories, the home offers the kind
of charm, soul, and small-town connection that is increasingly hard
to find. Originally part of the farmland that helped
shape this area of town, the property carries a rich local history,
with neighboring homes built from parcels of the original land.
Actress Janice Rule once lived here during her teenage years,
adding yet another unique chapter to this home's remarkable past.
