IT’S FALL Y’ALL!
September 23, 2023 is the first day of autumn – can you believe it! Where has summer gone? We are seeing that ever-so-subtle shift in nature that says “yes, it’s hot right now, but autumn is coming…soon.”
First off - It’s Sourdough September (yes, it’s a thing!)
We should get our sourdough starter going so we can bake our own bread this winter – we don’t remember the last time we baked our own bread but it sounds like a great to-do!! ~ National Good Neighbor Day is right around the corner – September 28th – Get out there and introduce yourself and connect with others in your neighborhood. It simply starts with saying “hello”. ~ After meeting a few new neighbors, you can celebrate the Harvest Moon which will appear the evening of Thursday, September 28th ! For several evenings the moonrise comes soon after sunset resulting in an abundance of bright moonlight early in the evening, which was a traditional aid to farmers and crews harvesting their summer grown crops! So now you know!
If your change of seasons includes a change of location, make sure you give us a call and we can help you with all of your home buying and selling needs! Quaid and Rooney consistently ranks #1 in our Glen Ellyn Market Center and in the top 10 in DuPage County. We are also in the top 1% of mid-sized teams in the country! It is our mission to put our clients first and to make selling and buying your home as smooth as possible. We understand how stressful the whole process can be and we want to guide you toward the right decisions. Give us a call today at 630.790.5904 and we can help you with this step in your fall to-do list!

Quick close possible!! Fantastic opportunity to own this Mid-Century Modern Glen Ellyn home!
Built in 1956 by MacDougall Builders for the original owner, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath expanded split level is positioned on a beautifully maintained, 96X290 lot! Its unique "U" shaped configuration allows for a center, outdoor courtyard accessible from the dining room and living room. The courtyard patio continues to wrap around the backside of the home - visible from the living room. With no interior support walls on the first and second floors (the large beams in the ceiling give support NOT the vertical walls), the home can be completely reconfigured to accommodate a 1st floor open concept and rooms on 2nd floor rearranged. The 1st and 2nd levels feature 9ft ceiling height and the expected MCM architectural details of tongue and groove wood ceilings, handsome wood beams and accent walls of common brick. The spacious basement has large sliding glass doors that lead to a shaded patio that then provides additional access (3 steps up) to another recessed patio that leads to the stunningly landscaped backyard. The 2nd floor features 4 bedrooms, 1 ensuite bath and 2 additional full baths. The rear bedroom has a balcony overlooking the backyard. The 3-car, attached garage (with rear service door to backyard) is oversized to provide plenty of storage space. From the garage you enter into a large mudroom.
Located among elegant luxury homes, on a quiet, tree-lined street, this hidden gem is a fantastic investment. Walking distance to Churchill Elementary- only school in D41 offering the highly sought after dual language immersion program.
