About This Home

As of April 2025

Exquisitely renovated American 4-Square, nestled in a prime walk-to-town and train location, is a true standout! Completely reimagined in 2011, this home blends timeless charm with modern luxury. The sunlit main level boasts an open-concept kitchen with elegant white in-set cabinetry, a dining room featuring a stunning original built-in, and a living room with custom shelving and French doors that open onto a charming front porch. Gleaming hardwood floors and a convenient mudroom add to the home's inviting appeal. Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a double vanity and a marble-tiled shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a stylish full bathroom complete the second level. The top floor-finished with its own private bath-serves as the ultimate home office oasis or an additional bedroom. Step outside to a picturesque, private backyard surrounded by a cedar fence, complete with a large deck perfect for entertaining. A two-car garage (with a driveway off Maple) adds convenience. Just two blocks from the Stone Ave Metra station and the beloved annual Pet Parade. Move right in and experience the best of La Grange living!
