About This Home

Nestled on an oversized, south-facing corner lot just blocks from downtown La Grange, this distinguished residence masterfully balances architectural heritage with sophisticated modern living. Framed by mature hedges and lush landscaping, the property offers an inviting setting for outdoor entertaining, privacy, recreation, and everyday enjoyment. Thoughtfully updated in recent years, the home seamlessly blends classic craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. At its heart is an exceptional chef's kitchen designed for both grand entertaining and daily living. An oversized leathered quartzite island anchors the space, complemented by premium appliances, abundant custom cabinetry, a prep sink, and a striking custom Danish hood above the Miele five-burner cooktop. Whether hosting holiday gatherings or intimate dinners, this kitchen serves as the natural centerpiece of the home. Natural light fills the main level, highlighting refinished hardwood floors, elegant living spaces, custom built-ins, and a wood-burning fireplace. The charming foyer welcomes guests into a home rich with warmth and character, while the sunroom provides an ideal setting for a private office, reading retreat, or playroom. A rare and highly desirable first-floor suite offers exceptional flexibility, perfectly suited for guests, multigenerational living, an au pair arrangement, or a private executive office. An updated full bath nearby enhances the versatility of this thoughtfully designed space, while an additional powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, a delightful secondary family room creates a unique gathering space complete with its own wood-burning fireplace. Perfect for movie nights, a children's retreat, study area, or quiet escape, it adds a level of functionality rarely found in homes of this era. The second floor also features three bedrooms, including a beautifully updated primary suite with a spa-inspired bath featuring a walk-in shower and dual vanity. Additional amenities include a practical mudroom, abundant storage, a two-car garage with a 220-volt EV charger, and a private patio surrounded by mature perennial gardens that provide beauty and color throughout the seasons. Located in one of La Grange's most coveted neighborhoods, this iconic home offers unparalleled convenience to award-winning schools, parks, the library, Metra, and the vibrant downtown district. With easy access to both O'Hare and Midway airports, as well as I-294 and I-55, the location is as practical as it is prestigious. A rare opportunity to own one of La Grange's truly cherished residences-where timeless elegance, modern comfort, and an exceptional lifestyle converge
