Charming Victorian Farm house with large eat in kitchen in Historic Glen Ellyn.

The Davis House has been embracing Guests for the past 15 years. It is a perfect place for families to stay. The kitchen after all is the Heart of the home and famalies have loved the French farm table for gatherings as well as the 3 oven LaCanche stove.
It is located in beautiful Glen Ellyn, known for its quaint down town and Vintage Homes, parks and tree lined streets. USA Today selected Glen Ellyn as the Picturesque Town of Illinois because of this. The Davis House is located on a very quiet cul-de-sac. Set back from Davis Terrace, its front garden adds to the grandeur of this beautiful home. Steps from Babcock Grove Park as well as Lake Ellyn Park. For young children these are just a few of the options. Also for children and adults The Perry Mastadon that was discovered in Glen Ellyn in 1963 is on display at Wheaton College, just a few miles away. If you are looking to get away from it all....this is it.

The home has many original features and has all hardwood floors on the main level. In the family room you will find the fireplace and large Plasma TV with surround sound. The home is nestled amongst large trees and beautiful gardens...truly a wonderful place to call home while visiting Historic Glen Ellyn and neighboring towns as well as Chicago and all that it has to offer. With our Metra station with in a 10 minute walk down town Chicago can be reached from there as quickly as 30 minutes!!!
Please note: Per Glen Ellyn Village ordinace, family use only. No large gatherings or events.

Perfect VRBO - We wanted to move it!

This is truly a gem of a property. The old home is fantastic and well-equipped. The kitchen is one of my dreams. There are many spaces so no one is tripping over each other. Beds are very comfortable and the master bath is something of my dreams. Home has lovely outdoor space and we enjoyed watching the birds bathe in the birdbath. Home is surrounded by bushes so is quite secluded while still being in a bustling suburb of Chicago. Already planning another visit with some friends!

A Tribute to the Victorian Era

We were attending a graduation in Chicago and decided that while not in town, this big, beautiful place would be a welcomed escape. Boy, were we right. The level of detail and warmth of the home surpassed our expectations. The gardens were enchanting and the location, although separated from the City, provided a converse to our city time that was great.

Perfect family home with beautiful views and charm!

We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was the perfect place for our family to celebrate our oldest daughter's graduation. Every detail of your home added something special to the occasion—from the stunning garden to the lovely piano, which made a wonderful backdrop for entertainment and photos.Our children, ranging from ages 3 to 18, kept saying how much they wanted to stay longer. Our youngest even said, “Mommy, I just love our new home.” That says it all! Your effort in preserving the original charm of the home is so evident and deeply appreciated.We truly loved every moment and hope to return again someday. Thank you for making this milestone so memorable for our family.With gratitude,The DeClue CrewChatGPT can mak

Great House!

The Davis House is wonderful—large, spacious—and just as described in the listing. It really is fully equipped with just about anything one would need. Beds are comfortable, water pressure is great and the laundry room on the second floor is terrific. William is a gracious owner and answered all our questions promptly. He was a pleasure to work with and it was a pleasure to stay here. We will definitely be back.

Graduation

Amazing home. More stunning than pictures. Lots of places to gather as a group or have solitude. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Neighborhood quiet and walkable. Enjoyed outdoor dining on deck, quiet porch swing mornings, happy hour toasting in the sunroom, playing the grand piano, and cozing up in the living room for a movie. 5 adult family members gathering for graduation from a graduate program at Midwestern University.. Highly recommend!

We visited family in Glen Ellyn and adored the Davis House! William was a pleasure to work with, and the small dog decorations made us feel right at home with our 3 pugs and Lhasa apso. Outdoor fountain, jetted tub, wonderfully mature neighborhood, oh and the sun room right off the master bedroom. Thanks SO much for a stay that exceeded all expectations!
