Welcome to 229 9th Ave., a breathtaking 2004 custom-built home by Vytas Balciunas. Located in the coveted Historic District of La Grange. This residence offers modern amenities and an unbeatable location-just a quick walk from Cossitt School, the Metra, and all that downtown La Grange has to offer. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the thoughtful design and finishes throughout. The newly finished hardwood floors on the main level set the stage for an inviting open floor plan, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, a spacious island, granite countertops, a large pantry, and a double oven-all seamlessly opening to a light-filled family room with a dual-fuel fireplace. A butler's pantry with a wine fridge and sink leads to the elegant formal dining and living rooms, creating the perfect setting for hosting guests. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, each with ample closet space, along with a beautifully appointed hall bath with a dual-sink vanity. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with two walk-in closets, heated bathroom floors, an Aqualux Whirlpool SoakingTub, a walk-in shower, and a marble-topped white double vanity. The finished third floor is a showstopper, featuring a high ceiling and a versatile flex space-ideal for a home office, playroom, or additional family room. This level also includes a bedroom, full bath, and large walk-in storage closet. The basement is every Midwesterner's dream, boasting a full bath, sauna, exercise room, and an entertainer's paradise with a prep kitchen, bar, dual-fuel fireplace, and an included AV Smart Receiver with Bluetooth, five-speaker surround sound, and a subwoofer. The attached garage allows the backyard to have a wide open space the width of the property. The blue stone patio, natural stone seating bench, and the QCA Spas Hot Tub is surrounded by professional landscaping that makes you feel like you're on vacation-right at home. This exceptional property is a must-see. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of La Grange luxury!
