Property Description
This home is cross listed as land (MLS #12588604) due to the structural issues evident in the home. This home will either be a tear down or renovation. Located in the highly sought-after Harding Woods neighborhood of La Grange Park, this traditional brick home sits on a rare 75-foot-wide lot. The home features a spacious combined living and dining room with a gas log fireplace, an eat-in kitchen with a built-in banquette, a first-floor bedroom (currently being used as the dining room), two generously sized second-floor bedrooms and two full bathrooms. An attached two-car garage with direct access from the rear mudroom, laundry room, and a beautiful yard complete the property. The location is truly exceptional, with easy access to the BNSF Metra station for direct service to downtown Chicago. Enjoy a short walk to the Village Market and the library, as well as convenient proximity to downtown La Grange and the West End for shopping, dining, salons, and entertainment. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just steps from Stone Monroe Park, Memorial Park and the Salt Creek bike path. The home is also conveniently located near top-rated schools including Ogden Elementary, Park Junior High, St. Francis Xavier, Lyons Township High School and Nazareth Academy, with quick access to both major Chicagoland airports. This property is being conveyed "as-is" due to settling issues, offering a fantastic opportunity to renovate the existing home or build your dream home in the desirable Harding Woods neighborhood.
