About This Home

As of February 2021

What a great home to start your life in the spectacular town of La Grange! This home sits on such a nice looking block in the coveted Country Club neighborhood to boot! Just 1.5 block walk to Award winning Spring Avenue Elementary School AND to Gurrie Middle School! This split level has just had a make over, too! The kitchen is updated with white cabinets, granite counters, ceramic backsplash, stainless appliances and luxury vinyl tile floor. Hardwood floors throughout main (refinished 2020), 2nd and 3rd levels (refinished in 2013). Gather around the wood burning fireplace in the winter, or hang out in the cozy basement den watching your favorite movie. Additional news include roof, front and back door, hot water heater and newer windows. Some photos virtually staged.
