Description
Welcome to your storybook gem! An ivy-draped, vintage Cape Cod full of historic charm, soulful character, and dreamy indoor-outdoor living. Set on a spacious corner lot across from the La Grange Country Club, this home offers four unique outdoor spaces, two fireplaces, and two sunrooms, inviting you to live in rhythm with the seasons. Inside, you'll find freshly painted walls on the first floor, hand-selected designer wallpaper, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors (2025) throughout that elevate the home's timeless elegance. Kitchen features soapstone countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and built-in cabinet lighting. Arched doorways, bay windows, built-in bookshelves, and storage niches add architectural beauty and function. Central Air able to be installed via laundry chute if desired! Step outside into your private garden oasis, where every corner bursts with life and color: Two varieties of pear trees (Dewey & Bartlett-perfect for homemade caramel pies), grapes for wine lovers, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries for summer snacking, peonies, heirloom roses, 7 types of lilies, hostas, and more create a bloom-filled backdrop from spring to fall. A tranquil water feature adds movement and calm, and your private turf dog run makes it perfect for pets. With a 2.5 car garage, full basement with laundry room and plenty of storage, flexible living spaces, and the rare blend of nostalgic charm and modern upgrades, this home is made for those who crave beauty, ease, and a deeper connection to home. Whether you're sipping wine by the firepit or drinking coffee on the patio, every inch of this space invites you to slow down and savor its beauty.
