Property Description
Tucked in the heart of La Grange, this Victorian farmhouse has been lovingly updated by its current owners before a job relocation cut their time here short. The foyer immediately sets the tone - full of preserved character, original millwork, and abundant natural light, yet thoughtfully refreshed for modern suburban living and entertaining, The first floor showcases refinished oak hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, and new crown molding throughout. The double living/family room features a gas fireplace, new overhead lighting, stunning alabaster light fixtures, and crisp updated paint. The spacious dining room flows beautifully into a bright white kitchen with updated appliances, new refrigerator, quartz counters, and marble backsplash. The sunny eat-in kitchen walks out to the deck, overlooking a freshly fenced and sodded side yard with a brick patio - and beyond it, the heated in-ground pool with automatic cover and stone accents, stamped concrete patio, and mature shade trees. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, including a spacious primary with an oversized closet or sitting room (already plumbed to add an en-suite bath) and a newly finished hall bath with a stone soaker tub, standalone shower, and double vanity. The finished third floor, with its original beadboard ceiling, makes a unique fourth bedroom, office, or playroom. The lower level adds flexible living space, a second full bath, wet bar, fireplace, and laundry with a new washer and dryer. Out front, the classic La Grange porch overlooks a newly sodded yard along charming Kensington Avenue. Recent improvements abound, full list available, but not to be missed: Upstairs bath redone (2026) pool heater and pool opener motor (2026), , sod and side fence (2026)washer, dryer, and refrigerator (2025), and windows (2023). All just steps from schools, the Metra, and downtown La Grange's restaurants and shops - an easy commute to the city and a suburban summer dream rolled into one.
