01About this home

This beautifully maintained center-entry Colonial showcases timeless charm and exceptional curb appeal, featuring a classic brick exterior, professional landscaping and a highly desirable Harding Woods location. A gracious foyer with a curved staircase welcomes you inside, where double entry doors lead to an expansive living room complete with Art Deco crown molding and an inviting wood-burning fireplace with the original Art Deco display mantel. The formal dining room serves as the heart of the home, conveniently connected to all main living areas. The sun-filled family room offers designer carpeting and picturesque views of the backyard. The updated white kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, a built-in desk and a peninsula with breakfast bar seating. The main level also includes a powder room and a practical mudroom. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite located above the family room addition. This retreat features a large walk-in closet and a double vanity with a dedicated dressing area. The partially finished basement adds versatile living space with a recreation room, a laundry area with abundant storage, a wine cellar and direct access to the backyard. Step outside and relax on a spacious multi-level deck that overlooks a beautifully landscaped backyard retreat, complete with a two-car detached garage. Situated within the highly rated Ogden Avenue, Park Junior High, and Lyons Township school districts, this home also boasts an unbeatable location-just a short stroll to downtown La Grange's shops, dining, commuter train, local parks, bike and walking trails and library.
