The entire first floor of this Downers Grove, Illinois family home was completely renovated and redesigned by Chad Esslinger of Chad Esslinger Design. The renovation included the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, family room, living room, home office, sunroom, entry, and staircase. Warm and comfortable finishes are seen throughout, with eclectic and contemporary materials and product choices.
Location, location, location!
