Description
Timeless storybook appeal sets the tone for this English cottage, highlighted by a classic stucco exterior, new paver brick front walk (2023), arched entry door, and professionally landscaped grounds that deliver standout curb appeal. A covered side terrace and private deck provide welcoming outdoor spaces ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, charming features include hardwood floors, original glass doorknobs, French doors, custom built-ins, and elegant arched passageways. The vestibule entry leads to an inviting foyer with an open staircase and graceful archways opening to the formal living and dining rooms. The spacious, sun-filled living room is lined with picture windows, centered around a cozy fireplace, and accented by two arched French doors that open seamlessly to the covered terrace-perfect for indoor-outdoor gatherings. The formal dining room features a built-in corner china cabinet and flows into a main-level bedroom offering a wall of windows and a built-in bookcase with cabinet storage below. The thoughtfully designed galley kitchen includes a Professional Series Viking range and connects to a bright breakfast nook overlooking the side deck for casual, everyday meals. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms with stucco walls and walk-in closets create a peaceful retreat, complemented by a travertine hall bath with a whirlpool tub/shower combination. The partially finished basement adds flexible living space with a large family room, dedicated office area, second full bath, laundry/utility room and ample storage. A newer boiler (2021) provides radiator heat, along with central air conditioning for year-round comfort. Situated within Ogden Avenue Elementary School, Park Junior High School, and Lyons Township High School, the home also offers exceptional walkability to Memorial Park, Salk Creek walking/bike trail, Stone Monroe Park, the La Grange Park Public Library and vibrant downtown La Grange. Convenient commuter train access to downtown Chicago as well!
