Property Description
This stately Victorian farmhouse on a beautifully landscaped lot in the heart of La Grange offers amazing curb appeal and amazing living space! The interior features incredible historic details including oak hardwood floors, period millwork, craftsman-inspired replacement windows (2023), 9-1/2 ft. first floor ceilings, built-in shelving and so much more! The gracious foyer - which features the original oak entry door and stately staircase with carved newel post and spindles - provides access to the main floor powder room and leads to a double parlor living room and family room with converted gas fireplace and original pocket doors. The spacious dining room is perfect for entertaining and is adjacent to the expansive eat-in kitchen that opens to the covered rear deck overlooking the backyard oasis complete with an in-ground pool. The kitchen features freshly painted white cabinetry (2024), a commercial grade Blue Star gas oven/range as well as breakfast bar seating and table space. The second-floor features three bedrooms - including the spacious primary bedroom with sitting room (with plumbing in walls for potential future bath), a full hall bathroom and a back staircase to the third floor. The finished third floor has a 4th bedroom and office with original beadboard walls and ceilings and tons of storage in the eaves. The large, finished basement offers additional living space in the rec room with wet bar and second gas fireplace, playroom, laundry room, second full bathroom and mudroom with exterior access. Outside you'll find a relaxing covered porch overlooking a koi pond with bridge out front and a deck, in-ground heated pool (typically open through November) with stamped concrete patio and mature shade trees out back. Exterior painted in 2021. This wonderful home is within walking distance to downtown La Grange's restaurants, shopping, movie theater, library and commuter train as well as award winning area schools.
