The kitchen boasts views of the backyard and has an adjacent powder room. Oak hardwood floors on the main level and second level in primary bedroom (under carpeting) and 2nd bedroom. Living room includes built in shelving and storage with a wood burning fireplace. Separate dining room plus main level office or den. Three bedrooms up with full bath. Full basement has loads of potential and is a clean blank slate. 2020 Furnace, humidifier and Hot Water Heater; A/C Condenser 2014; 2013 Roof; Newer Windows and Circuit breaker panel. 2.5 blocks to Spring Avenue Elementary School and William F Gurrie Middle School. Downtown La Grange is about a 15 minute walk and has an abundance of excellent restaurants, shops and of course, the convenient train to the city!
