The basement provides more living space and includes a large finished rec room with wood burning fireplace (as-is), and several other rooms and bonus areas, plus additional powder room, remodeled 2023. The home sits conveniently adjacent to the sidewalk that leads down the path to Lyons Township South Campus (9th & 10th grade), and is also a straight shot down Brainard Ave to North Campus (11th & 12th grade) - both schools are conveniently in walking distance.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average2 of my 3 children have graduated from LT and 1 will start there soon. The ones who have gone to LT have found it to be challenging, supportive, full of caring teachers and staff, and a HUGE number of classes to choose from. They have gone on to be successful in college and ultimately that's what the goal is: to be successful in what comes AFTER high school. Lyons Township HS provided my kids with the tools to be successful after leaving, and one of my kids actually said that he seemed better prepared for college than some of his current classmates at his university.Parent Review4mo ago

"LaGrange is a beautiful town with a vibrant downtown area that has many fantastic restaurants and shops. The two historic train stations allow for a quick 20 minute ride to Union station. It feels incredibly safe and people are out and about at all times of the day. The schools are some of the best in Illinois and people who live here clearly prioritize family and education. I wouldn’t move anywhere else. "
