This exceptional home is set on a rare 75-foot-wide lot along one of the most coveted streets in the Historic District of La Grange. Showcasing timeless curb appeal, this center-entry brick Colonial features a bluestone front walk and porch, paver brick terrace, clay tile roof, fully fenced backyard, and an incredible screened-in porch-just the beginning of all it has to offer. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed floor plan highlighted by rich moldings, beautiful French doors and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. A welcoming vestibule opens to a gracious foyer, flanked by a formal dining room and an entertainment-sized living room with an inviting fireplace. The impressive two-story rear addition (2009) elevates the home with a chef's kitchen boasting custom Craftsman-style solid oak cabinetry, a generous center island with breakfast bar and a spacious breakfast room with a built-in desk. A rear hall with mudroom and main-floor powder room add to the home's functionality and appeal. The main-floor family room is filled with natural light from surrounding windows and features a second fireplace, custom built-ins, and the home's original terracotta mosaic tile floor. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms and two full baths-including the expansive primary suite addition-offer comfortable living. The luxurious primary retreat features a vaulted ceiling, sitting area with private rooftop deck access, walk-in closet, laundry room, and spa-inspired bath complete with rain shower, body sprays, river rock flooring, whirlpool tub and double vanity. The walk-up third floor offers excellent storage or expansion potential, while the finished basement with exterior access provides abundant additional living space, including a recreation room, craft room, workshop, private office with exercise area (potential 5th bedroom), utility room with second laundry, ample storage and a third full bath. All of this is complemented by highly regarded local schools-Cossitt Elementary, Park Junior High and Lyons Township High School. Ideally located just half a block from Elm Park, two-and-a-half blocks to the Stone Avenue train stop and the West End Business District, and an easy stroll to schools and vibrant downtown La Grange with its restaurants, movie theater and library. A rare opportunity to own a truly special home in an unbeatable location!
