01About this home

Stunning gut-rehabbed brick Georgian on a prime corner lot in desirable La Grange Park! This beautifully reimagined home perfectly blends timeless vintage charm-featuring original woodwork, hardwood floors, and generous ceiling heights-with today's modern upgrades and thoughtful design. Light pours throughout the home, highlighting gleaming hardwood floors across the main living levels. The spacious main floor offers a welcoming living room, a separate dining room ideal for entertaining, and a beautifully designed galley kitchen built for both everyday living and serious cooking. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a full stainless steel appliance suite, abundant storage in modern taupe shaker cabinetry, and elegant brushed gold and black hardware throughout. The first floor also features a private primary suite overlooking the backyard, complete with a walk-in closet and a luxurious spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with large closets and a charming full bath that preserves the home's character-highlighted by the original arched detail over the bathtub-paired with all-new fixtures and finishes. Natural light fills every room. The finished basement is ready for entertaining and everyday living, featuring stunning epoxy floors, French drains, and a sump system for peace of mind. Major mechanical updates include dual-zoned HVAC with two brand-new systems, a new architectural shingle roof, updated electrical and plumbing throughout. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard and a detached two-car garage with convenient side-drive access. Located in an award-winning school district and just minutes from parks, forest preserves, shopping, dining, and entertainment. Commuters will love the easy access to I-55, I-290, I-294, and the Metra train station. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored Georgian that blends classic character with modern comfort.
