Classic charm meets modern living in this distinctive, 3300 sq. ft + home inspired by Victorian architecture, with a thoughtful layout for today's lifestyle. Behind its timeless facade is a surprisingly expansive, open-concept interior designed for effortless living and entertaining. The low-maintenance exterior offers lasting curb appeal without the upkeep, while inside, generous living spaces flow seamlessly-perfect for gatherings both large and intimate. Once inside the foyer, you'll find a spacious floor plan which provides that open feeling we love, while still offering the separation of rooms we need including a formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, large first floor living room, a family room with the first of two gas fireplaces, and private den. A laundry room/mudroom that leads to the attached garage and a powder room round out the first floor. The second floor is just as spacious, with five large bedrooms and three full baths, including two spacious en-suite bedrooms with private baths, offering comfort, privacy, and flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. The primary en-suite features two large walk-in closets, a gas fireplace and a spacious private bathroom. Entertain on a huge scale in the fully finished basement, complete with a handsome built-in bar that sets the stage for game nights, celebrations, or relaxed evenings with friends. Located in a sought-after area of La Grange, with beautiful tree-lined streets, wider lots, distinctive homes and the gorgeous Denning Park and playground, this home is part of the highly rated Highlands Elementary and Middle School and just a block away from highly ranked Lyons Township HS (south campus, for freshman and sophomore students). With all the amenities we want today, plenty of room to spread out, and a location that is highly desirable, this home delivers the best of both worlds: inspired character paired with contemporary ease.
