About This Home

As of August 2025

Situated on one of La Grange's most picturesque blocks, this exceptional American Four-Square blends timeless character with modern updates. The sunlit interior showcases beautifully refinished oak hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings on the main level, elegant 9-inch base moldings, stacked crown moldings, leaded glass windows, original glass doorknobs, and charming interior French doors. Enter through a welcoming vestibule with original porcelain mosaic tile flooring into a gracious central foyer. The expansive living room features a gas log fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases and a prominent wall-to-wall mantel. A bright and airy first-floor family room, surrounded by 10 windows, offers views of the tree-lined street, while a private home office with built-in storage and a stylish powder room with vaulted ceiling add function and flair. The formal dining room boasts a double French door entry, picture frame wainscoting, and the original oak breakfront with the original leaded glass windows above. The stunning, renovated eat-in kitchen combines style and practicality with classic white shaker cabinetry topped with crown molding, quartz countertops, a glass tile backsplash, apron-front farmhouse sink, contrasting black center island with breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and a spacious walk-in shower. The walk-up attic and freshly painted basement offer abundant storage and potential for future expansion. Outside, enjoy mature professional landscaping, a newer 2.5-car detached garage, and a paver brick patio-ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Additional features include Space Pak central air conditioning and efficient radiator/baseboard heating. All this is just a short walk to Cossitt Avenue Elementary, Park Junior High, Lyons Township North Campus, Elm Park, the Stone Avenue and La Grange Metra stations, and the vibrant downtown La Grange with its shops, restaurants, movie theater, and public library. This beautifully updated home is move-in ready-your perfect blend of classic charm and modern living awaits!
