About This Home

As of April 2023

UPDATED and SPECTACTULAR. This beautifully-remodeled Harding Woods home was taken down to the studs for its elegant remodel and expansion and sits centrally on one of the best blocks in La Grange Park. In the "north woods" section of Harding Woods, this totally redone home enjoys the quiet of almost no pass-thru street traffic - just yards away from the wildlife and beauty of our local treasure, the La Grange Park Woods forest preserve. This sun-infused floor plan artfully blends the modern and traditional, ushering you from the welcoming foyer to the expansive living room with fireplace, formal dining room, and family room. The stunning kitchen employs high-end cabinetry and a massive butcher block chef's island where family and friends can comfortably congregate. The massive kitchen has been designed to be open to the living spaces of dining and living room. The back entry boasts an extra-large mudroom with custom cabinetry, with first-floor laundry, and a powder room convenient to the fenced-in backyard. Four spacious second-floor bedrooms and a hall bath. The spa-like primary bedroom provides a beautifully renovated bath experience and walk-in closets. Recent renovations include new roof (2022), basement family room, bathrooms, kitchen, windows, electrical, plumbing, exterior facade and covered back porch, appliances, mechanicals, and basement waterproofing with a sump pump and external cistern. Professionally landscaped both front and back, mature trees, backyard deck and stone patio with firepit (with gas line). This beautiful home is located in the Ogden Ave. Elementary, Park Jr. High and Lyons Township H.S. Districts and is walking distance from the Stone Ave. Metra stop, the La Grange West End Shops, Stone Monroe Park, Salt Creek walking path/bike trail and all that downtown La Grange has to offer.
