Property Description
This incredible property includes both 331 N Kensington (the south 50.05x124.7 lot) and 335 N Kensington (the brick Victorian home on the north 50x124.50 lot). Showcased in the La Grange Area Historical Society's 2020 home tour, this exquisite, unique turn-of-the-century brick Victorian offers incredible attention to detail that is unmatched along with the true craftsmanship found throughout the exterior and interior of this historic gem. The home and gorgeous, professionally landscaped side lot purchased in 2016 by the current owners (two separate PINS) are in a highly desirable location with easy access to the commuter train, downtown La Grange, restaurants, shopping, the library, parks, bike/walking trails and so much more. The street appeal is breathtaking with a welcoming front porch and a partially screened wraparound porch all with five unique stained glass arched-glass insets with abstract mosaic design visible from the side yard. The interior of this amazing home features 10 ft first floor cove ceilings, tall base moldings, lovingly stripped and refinished woodwork and original intricately detailed brass doorknobs, plates and hinges. The vestibule entry has a mosaic tile floor, an oak front door that opens to the gracious foyer and grand staircase with hand carved newel posts and interlocking spindled banister. The living room features a window alcove with an amazing arched transom and a welcoming wood-burning fireplace with brick facade and original ceramic tile hearth. The formal dining room offers a wall of windows overlooking the gorgeous side lot and direct access to the screened side porch with vaulted bead-board ceiling. There's also a highly desirable first floor family room with built-in display cabinet and a custom renovated kitchen with Amish-made full inset cabinets, honed stone countertops, integrated high-end appliances and a unique Heartland Victorian-inspired oven/range. Other features include a mudroom with Butler's station, renovated first floor bathroom and rear staircase to the second floor. Upstairs there are 9+ foot ceilings, 1-inch ribbon oak floors in the hallway and 1 1/2-inch ribbon oak floors in the four spacious bedrooms. Beautiful hall bath with whirlpool tub, walk-in shower and two pedestal sinks. The huge fully excavated basement with 8 ft ceilings, new concrete floors/walls and steel posts features an expansive rec room/work out area, third full bathroom, laundry room, walk in storage room (potential for a home office), heated floors and exterior access. There is a generator with an access panel in the basement. The side lot purchased in 2016 is professionally landscaped, fully fenced and boasts flagstone and bluestone patios, raised vegetable gardens, an irrigation system, lush shade trees and flowering perennials - a gardener and entertainer's dream. The original carriage house - now a 2.5 car detached garage - has a walk-up heated loft with vaulted bead-board ceiling, exposed brick and refinished red pine floors. Highly ranked area schools include Ogden Elementary, Park Jr. High and Lyons Township High School! This special home - which has never hit the open market - has been lovingly maintained and restored by its current owners and is just waiting to welcome its next owner! The property consists of two separate lots with two separate property tax numbers. The home sits on the north lot.
