Property Description
Exquisite Italianate Victorian blending timeless character with modern comfort in a premier walk-to-everything Historic District location. Built in 1883, this remarkable home showcases stunning original architectural details, soaring 11-foot ceilings and beautifully preserved millwork throughout. A gracious foyer welcomes you with a dramatic curved staircase, designer runner and an impressive original newel post that sets the tone for the home's historic elegance. The formal living room features a decorative fireplace with its original quarter-sawn oak mantel and inlaid mirror, while dual French doors lead to a charming sunroom overlooking the picturesque tree-lined street. The sophisticated formal dining room is highlighted by classic wainscoting, an oversized picture rail and a lovely rectangular bay window. Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the main level also offers a comfortable family room, sunny breakfast area, and an updated eat-in kitchen with Craftsman-style cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances and a built-in breakfast bar. A renovated powder room and spectacular screened porch with vaulted beadboard ceiling and skylights complete the first floor. Upstairs, impressive 10-foot ceilings continue throughout four spacious bedrooms, two full baths and a convenient second-floor laundry room. The tranquil primary suite includes a tandem office and spa-inspired private bath, creating a peaceful retreat. Additional features include a walk-up attic and unfinished water-proofed basement with exterior access, both offering exceptional expansion possibilities. The detached garage includes a walk-up storage loft with 60-amp service, ideal for a future finished loft, mini-split system or EV charger. A concrete driveway, gated fully fenced yard and mature landscaping add to the home's exceptional curb appeal. Ideally located just blocks from downtown La Grange, the Metra train, library, shopping, dining, and award-winning schools including Cossitt Avenue Elementary, Park Junior High, and Lyons Township High School, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinguished historic residence in one of La Grange's most sought-after neighborhoods.
