About This Home

As of August 2023

Architecturally significant Harold Zook home on a private lot within walking distance to schools, train, and vibrant downtown La Grange. Buyers will appreciate the charming details of this historic home while enjoying the modern conveniences of a recently renovated kitchen and primary en suite bath. Visitors enter through the custom front door into a vaulted living room with stunning fireplace and views of the dining room and kitchen. In the dining room, guests are treated to floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the lush grounds, including a walking path, shade-producing trees, and abundant perennials. Access the screened porch right off the dining room: the perfect place for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Catch a glimpse of the patio and gardens as you pass through the kitchen on your way up to the private upstairs suite, complete with full bath and walk-in closet. Additional stairs off the front foyer and living room lead to the vaulted primary bedroom with updated balcony, as well as two other spacious bedrooms (plus attached office with three walls of windows) and another full bathroom. Ample closet space throughout this home, and more storage in the waterproofed basement, where buyers will appreciate the large laundry room and access to the attached two-car garage. Jacuzzi spa is tucked away into the private patio gardens and conveys with the home. New A/C in 2020. Featured on the 2021 La Grange Historical Society home tour. Must see this property to believe ... leafy neighborhood on quiet Dover Avenue and the proximity to town can't be beat! Please see sellers' list of recent updates and perennial plantings. Porch "Star" Light Fixture and Sonos System are Excluded.
