    What's special

    Timeless character meets thoughtful modern updates in La Grange's coveted Historic District! This exceptional turn-of-the-century American Four-Square sits on a rare 110' wide, over double lot, offering an extraordinary amount of land, privacy and curb appeal just blocks from downtown La Grange, the commuter train, parks and award-winning schools. A gracious wraparound front porch welcomes you into a home filled with beautifully preserved architectural details, including restored woodwork, oversized moldings, hardwood floors, French doors, beamed ceilings and leaded glass windows. The inviting foyer opens to an expansive living room with fireplace and a large formal dining room. The updated eat in kitchen features refreshed cabinetry and backsplash, new sink with touchless faucet, under-cabinet lighting and updated appliances, and opens seamlessly to the family room. A convenient mud room adds practical storage. The second floor offers four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, while two additional bedrooms on the third floor provide flexible space for guests, office, playroom or hobbies. The completely remodeled upstairs bath features a new vanity, walk-in shower and glass shower door. The finished lower level adds even more living space with a recreation room, playroom, laundry, along with a newly renovated basement bath, ceramic tile flooring and a radiator that fully heats the level. Numerous major improvements provide peace of mind, including a new roof on the home and garage, new gutters and gutter guards, James Hardie siding with 3/4" plywood and Tyvek wrap, rebuilt back deck, custom-engineered James Hardie front porch, rebuilt handrails, newly resin-lined sewer line from the home to the street and existing copper water service. Additional updates include LED recessed lighting, new sump pump with backup, new dryer vent line and updated windows in the kitchen. The beautifully reimagined grounds are truly one of the property's greatest assets. Front and side yards have been professionally redesigned with mature landscaping, cut-stone boarded beds, pavers and extensive perennial plantings. The 2 1/2-car detached garage offers a storage loft/workroom, complemented by a new concrete parking pad and additional paver parking. The expansive lot, lush landscaping and wraparound porch create a wonderfully private setting that feels surprisingly removed from the nearby streets. A rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of La Grange history with the character buyers love and the updates they want-all in one of the village's most desirable locations.
