Rare Historic One Bedroom Carriage House in Downtown Glen Ellyn

Guess what? I'm not a management company!

I actually love it when people get to stay in this home. I may be smidge biased, but it is my favorite home in Glen Ellyn after all (a true statement long before becoming the homeowner)!

And fortunately for you, my kids have "graduated" from home life and I have plenty of travel opportunities. So, rather than the home and/or carriage house sitting empty, I would love the opportunity to host you!

Glen Ellyn is the quintessential "charming village" in the Chicagoland area. The vibrant local downtown blends small-town warmth with big-city amenities. Directly west of Chicago, Glen Ellyn offers a picturesque setting with tree-lined streets, historic architecture, a bustling shopping and foodie scene, and a welcoming community atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere.

Glen Ellyn is known for diverse historic architecture as the village grew with a local rule that similar architectural style cannot be replicated on the same block. And it is now known for some of the best local restaurants outside of the city itself.

In fact, the popular local corner cafe, Blackberry Market, that anchors the downtown area is owned by yours truly.

The "Dibble Estate", as it is locally referred to, is one of the most unique homes in town. It still sits on two parcels and is one of the only homes in town that features a Mediterranean revival style wrapped in a beautiful stucco and with an old world red clay tile roof.

The property is also one of the very few homes in town to be "grandfathered-in" with a fully equipped carriage house, which is now a spacious 1 bedroom apartment.

With all of this said, one of the most memorable elements of the estate is the European inspired patio and landscaping, which was once featured on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens and is perfect for entertaining or finding that much needed respite.
