This home boasts open and large living spaces, expansive kitchen, and lots of outdoor space. And, because of its minimalist simplicity, it's essentially a blank canvas that wants you to live your decor dream. The extensive, wrap-around front porch greets you and, on the backside, ushers you to the incredible outdoor living room in the backyard. The foyer is lovely featuring a handsome staircase to the upper level. The living room and dining room are grand and lead you to the open concept kitchen/enormous family room in the back with floor to ceiling wood-burning fireplace and back staircase. A "secret" study is off the dining room and there's also a convenient first floor full bath. The backyard is so big with a two story 2.5 car garage including an awesome exercise area and large recreation room on the second floor of garage. The highly coveted alley homes of La Grange Park enjoy a newly paved alleyway in the back to enable a homeowner to maximize their green living space. There are FIVE second story bedrooms, laundry and 2 bathrooms upstairs. The lower level includes an additional laundry area, lots of storage, billiards, fitness and fun!
