This 1929 Spanish Style Tudor home offers a blend of classic charm and modern convenience, with an array of features that cater to both style and functionality. Here's a breakdown of its key attributes: The oversized front porch sets a welcoming tone, leading into a quaint foyer. Inside, the powder room and coat closet add practicality. The sunlit Living Room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Adjacent is a Formal Dining Room, perfect for entertaining. The attached den provides a versatile space for an office or a reading nook. Both the Living and Dining Rooms feature elegant crown moldings and hardwood floors that extend throughout the first floor. A recent addition boasts a spacious Family Room with vaulted ceilings, a stone gas fireplace, and French doors that open to a full-length deck. This deck is accessible from both the Family Room and the eat-in Kitchen. The oversized Kitchen includes stainless steel appliances (replaced within the last 3 years), a portable island, granite countertops, a JennAir double oven, a gas cooktop with a stylish hood fan, and a serving buffet with a wine fridge. A beautiful hardwood staircase with a runner leads to the second floor, which includes four generously sized bedrooms. The primary bedroom features two wall-to-wall closets. All bedrooms have hardwood floors. The third floor houses a 5th bedroom/office and a large attic/storage room. This space presents an opportunity for expansion, potentially turning it into a large primary bedroom and bathroom. The lower level includes a large recreation room with 6.5 ft ceilings, a workshop/storage room, a laundry room/bathroom, and ample additional storage. The home has two furnaces and AC units. Notable updates include a roof approximately 15 years old, two sump pumps installed 2 years ago, an addition about 16 years ago, one furnace replaced in 2017, and a water heater from 2008. The property also features 200 Amp electrical service. Ideally situated within walking distance of Jewel, Aldi, Memorial Park, and the Market Place Shopping Center, which includes Panera and Dollar Tree. A short walk takes you to downtown La Grange, Metra train station, coffee shops, restaurants, and more.
