Welcome to the iconic "Ackerman Home", a timeless yellow farmhouse tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Glen Ellyn's most sought-after neighborhoods. Framed by a white picket fence, lush gardens, and its signature red front door, this home blends historic charm with modern comforts and boasts $23,000 in professional landscaping that enhances its curb appeal year-round.

The updated kitchen features soapstone countertops, newer stainless-steel appliances, and a charming butler window that opens to the dining room, adding both function and vintage character. Adjacent to the kitchen, the light-filled family room is wrapped in windows with views of the beautifully landscaped backyard. A main-level bedroom near a full bath and laundry area offers flexible use as a guest room or home office.

Additional features include; attached two-car garage with pull-down attic access for extra storage, newer roof, boiler, water heater, and central air.
