Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from March 17, 2022
FANTASTIC SCHOOL DISTRICT and abundant transportation options await you in this beautiful all-brick 3BR/2BA Mid-Century home. Not only is there a 165-sf enclosed porch and a 450-sf deck, but this home has sprawling back and front yards, 2-car garage and a driveway the length of the property that can accommodate an additional 3-4 cars, and a completely new roof (2019). Known for its excellent schools (Spring Ave Elementary School & Lyons Township High School), La Grange is a quick 20-minute commute (less than 14 miles) to downtown Chicago's Union Station on the express Metra, and this home is only 10 blocks from the La Grange Station. Within 2 miles or less from this home is Interstate-55 (Stevenson), Interstate-290 (Eisenhower), Interstate-294 (Illinois Tollway), I88 and I355. Midway Airport and O'Hare are just about 30 minutes each from this great raised ranch home. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, you'll enter into a foyer that flows in a circular pattern through the main level with a expansive living room, a separate dining room, a well-designed kitchen, three bedrooms and gleaming hardwood floors. Also on the main level is one of the two full baths. Storage space is more than ample with built-ins, a front coat closet, a linen closet, closets in all of the bedrooms (two bedrooms have double closets), tons of lower-level storage and pull-down stairs to a partially finished attic for additional storage. With windows on all four sides bathing the home in light all day long, the home also features a kitchen with dual counters, plenty of cabinets, a newer all-white appliance package and an ideal space for a breakfast nook, workspace or small table and chairs. Directly off the kitchen is the three-season enclosed patio that opens onto an outdoor deck. Stairs from the kitchen lead down to the finished basement with another 1100-sf of space including an open recreation room that could be a huge workout room, office/workspace, theater, family lounge, additional bedrooms or a playroom. The possibilities are endless. The lower level also features tons of storage, a laundry area and sink, and a wet-bar with an under counter refrigerator. The location is just a short walk or bike ride (10 blocks) from the historic downtown LaGrange and centrally located to great shopping, dining, parks and entertainment including Waiola and Sedgewick parks, Davanti Enoteca, Mariano's, Walgreens, Nonna's Pizza, Blackberry Market, Club Pilates, Core Power Yoga, LaGrange Country Club, The LaGrange Historic District, and a short drive to Target, Jewel, and so much more. Move right in!

    "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. "
