For buyers exhausted by limited inventory in desirable Lake Ellyn, this one’s for you!
Earlier this year, I helped my clients secure this home entirely off market. It was their DREAM Lake Ellyn home, but unfortunately their plans have since changed, and they’re devastated to be selling it so soon.
So! For buyers hoping to find their Lake Ellyn home before the school year begins, this is an opportunity to get in early.
Staging is scheduled for Friday, August 7, 2026, with photography immediately afterward, but the home is available for private showings before then. The sellers are also open to considering an off-market offer ahead of the full public launch, so please reach out if you have clients who may be a fit!
789 N Park Blvd, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137
4 Bedroom | 2 Bathroom | $1,199,000
789 N Park Blvd offers four bedrooms together upstairs, more than 3,200 finished square feet, a large fenced yard, and a location just steps from Lake Ellyn and close to downtown Glen Ellyn, Glenbard West High School, and Forest Glen Elementary.
Step through the proper foyer and the home’s character immediately comes into view. To the right, the 22-foot front living room is filled with natural light and framed by built-in bookcases, original millwork, and a decorative fireplace before opening into the gorgeous separate dining room. An arched built-in china cabinet and original leaded-glass French doors add even more charm, while also creating the option for a beautiful main-floor office.
The expansive main floor continues through an adorable butler’s pantry and dedicated coffee bar into the eat-in kitchen, featuring Thermador and JennAir appliances (2016), generous storage, and a large sink overlooking the backyard.
Entertaining continues as you step into the rear family room where French doors lead to the brick paver patio and fully fenced yard. A full bath, ample closet space, and access to the attached garage complete the main level.
Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, a full bath, and a staircase leading to a partially finished third-floor bonus room.
Today, the bonus room works perfectly as a kids’ hangout, playroom, reading nook, or office. But the real value lies in what could be done within the home’s existing footprint.
Conceptual plans (coming soon) show how removing the attic staircase could make room for a beautiful second full bath directly adjacent to the primary bedroom, creating a true primary ensuite without sacrificing any of the three secondary bedrooms.
In Lake Ellyn, where homeowners often have to take on a full home addition to accomplish the same floor-plan goal, that is the goldmine here.
The finished basement includes a recreation room, separate laundry room, utility space, and substantial storage.
Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard is fully fenced, with a brick paver patio and a generous stretch of usable lawn for outdoor entertaining.
A 1.5-car attached garage and long private driveway provide additional parking. The home was rehabbed in 2017, and the furnace was replaced in 2026.
A Home You Can Dream Away With
Seller’s Intended Ideas
Bringing the Kitchen Outdoors
“When we bought this home, we immediately imagined creating an even stronger connection between the kitchen and backyard. With the outdoor patio already perfectly positioned behind the kitchen & rear family room, we pictured pushing the kitchen farther out or creating a screened indoor-outdoor entertaining room where cooking, dining, and time outside could all flow together.
It felt like the perfect setting for long dinners, summer evenings, and a gathering space that could be enjoyed through much of the year.”
Design Your Own Primary Suite
“Upstairs, we saw an incredibly smart opportunity within the home’s existing footprint. Our dream was to rework the attic staircase and maybe a little bit of the surrounding areas to create a second full bath directly connected to the primary bedroom, which is already positioned perfectly to do so.
It would give the home a true primary suite while preserving all three secondary bedrooms. That possibility was a major part of what made us believe this could be our forever home.”
