About 123 South Blanchard Street

WELCOME TO FABULOUS! Traditional elegance and modern sophistication come together beautifully in this extraordinary "walk to train" Wheaton gem. With over 6,000 finished square feet of refined living space spanning across three thoughtfully designed levels, this home delivers remarkable space, impeccable style, and an unbeatable location. In many ways it surpasses new construction, having been meticulously cared for and carefully updated throughout. The charming covered front porch sets the tone, inviting you to slow down and stay awhile. Step inside and relish in all the rich hardwood floors, thick crown moldings, glass transoms, plantation shutters, and striking coffered ceilings. All the main level living spaces flow together perfectly for easy everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is ready for its resident chef. Commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, a pot filler, sleek quartz countertops, a new sink and faucets, and a delightfully large pantry make this space as functional as it is beautiful. The kitchen opens to the sunken family room where a dramatic coffered ceiling and gas fireplace create the perfect gathering space. The first-floor office is both handsome and highly practical, with direct access to a full bath - ideal for guests or an in-law arrangement. Even the reimagined mudroom, complete with bench seating, cubbies, and updated tile flooring, will impress you. Upstairs, 9-foot ceilings with tray accents and continued hardwood flooring lead to four generously sized bedrooms - each with direct bath access. The primary suite is a private retreat with its cozy fireplace, expansive walk-in closet with custom organizers, and spa-inspired bath updated in 2017. An unfinished area off the closet offers potential for expanded storage. The other upper level baths were updated in 2019 and 2020, respectively, and an impressive second floor laundry room rounds out the second floor with style. The newly finished basement with 10-foot ceilings extends the home's living space in spectacular fashion. This space boasts a HUGE rec area with electric fireplace and stone accent wall, wet bar with beverage fridge, a 5th conforming bedroom/exercise/bonus room, and a half bath. The basement is wired for sound, making it the perfect spot for family movie night or to watch the championship game. The first floor is wired for sound, too! Two newer water heaters (2020 & 2023). Newer upstairs furnace and a/c (spring 2025). Newer washer and dryer (2021). Newer roof (2019). There's a smart thermostat and a Ring doorbell, too! If outdoor entertaining is your thing, it's easy here. You have a newer maintenance-free deck and a fully fenced, professionally landscaped yard ready to host any sized gathering you want. An oversized three-car garage completes the package. All of this beauty is ideally situated just one mile from the French Market and vibrant downtown Wheaton, 1.3 miles from the Glen Ellyn library, and only a few blocks from the train. Homes of this caliber are rare, making this an exceptional opportunity for the discerning buyer. Welcome home!
