Timeless charm, unbeatable location, and remarkable space-this 5-bedroom La Grange classic has it all. This home (on an oversized lot) is situated just 100 yards from LTHS and centrally located between the high school and award-winning Cossitt Elementary, this home offers an ideal setting for family life. Plus, it's just a short stroll to the train, parks, and vibrant downtown La Grange-named one of the "Best Places to Live" by Chicago Magazine and West Suburban Living. Inside, the main level is exceptionally spacious with gorgeous hardwood floors, a gracious foyer, a formal dining room perfect for gatherings, and a sun-filled living room and sunroom. A charming coffee nook complements the kitchen, and the powder room might just be the cutest one you've ever seen. Upstairs, the second level features 4 generously-sized bedrooms and a shared full bath, while the third-floor suite-renovated in 2005-is a serene retreat with flexibility to be used for primary suite with full bath, guest-bedroom, work-from-home, or multigenerational living. The home enjoys central air, a restored and well-maintained boiler, and a dry basement with great ceiling height, a rec room, workroom, and ample storage. Outside, the detached 2-car garage and beautifully mature perennial gardens round-out the storybook picture. This is a rare opportunity to own a character-rich home with exceptional schools, space, and location in the heart of La Grange.
