Description
Handsome red brick and cedar colonial home in the coveted Country Club neighborhood of La Grange has a stately presence and sits on an extremely rare 100x135 double lot. The home and 2.5 car red brick garage, built in 2012 with walk-up attic for storage, faces 48th street for easy in and out. Walk from the garage to the house under partial covered roof joining the garage to the house. The expansive backyard features a deck, stone patio, mature trees, beautiful perennials and a sprinkler system to help take care of it all! Inside you'll find hardwood floors throughout the main and second levels with charming, well maintained features that celebrate the home's vintage - original wood doors with glass knobs, built-in in the dining room, wood fireplace with brick surround (as-is), glass french doors leading into the newly carpeted family room/sunroom. Updates throughout include plantain shutters and Renewal by Anderson windows, both 2017. Zoned heating combines the even heat of some baseboard and some flush mounted radiators, along with the quickly adjustable gas heat on the 3rd level. Dual A/C units keep the home cool. The traditional main level layout was modernized in 2012 with a remodeled kitchen that was opened to the dining room. The second level features a primary suite with an adjacent bonus room and 2 large closets that can be used as an office, storage, or it's a perfect spot for an exercise bike! Up on the 3rd level is where you'll find both the 4th bedroom and a large office space or additional family room or play area overlooking the gorgeous backyard. The basement has a rec room with newer flooring, gas fireplace (as-is), half bath, separate laundry room, storage/utility room and many closets, including a large climate controlled wine storage room.
