With curb appeal which includes a perfect sitting area for enjoying the neighborhood, this charming home invites you into a well-designed interior that is so much larger than it looks. Located on a picturesque street just a few blocks to highly rated schools, the train station, and an array of shopping and dining options in the vibrant downtown of La Grange. This home is very-well appointed with a handsome gas fireplace, a distinctive built-in cabinet and plantation shutters on many beautiful windows. You'll find five bedrooms and 3 baths including two bedrooms on the first floor with a full bath, and two upstairs including a primary en-suite featuring marble subway tile in the bathroom, an open loft-style office and a separate exercise room or nursery. The fifth bedroom is in the basement with a full bath that together creates a wonderful retreat for guests or teenagers. The first floor den feels inspiring and cheerful with windows on three sides - this room can make a great spot for an office, but there is also a very cool second floor open loft space that works amazingly as an office. The kitchen features modern cabinetry that blends in beautifully with its clean lines and simple elegance - they also feature plenty of space for storage along with Samsung stainless steel appliances and a newer Bosch dishwasher. There are gleaming hardwood floors throughout many rooms in the first and second floors of the home. There's a finished basement with a comfortable family room, recreation space, a functional yet pretty laundry room (including a washer and dryer), a private extra bedroom and a full bathroom. Outside, you'll find a lush backyard with plenty of room to play or entertain on the beautiful blue stone patio and a cute 2.5 car garage with a pull-down staircase to the storage loft.
