A rare downtown La Grange opportunity: the character of a historic neighborhood home, the ease of a beautifully renewed interior, and the village experience just beyond your backyard. Thoughtfully transformed from a two-flat into an expansive single-family residence, this exceptional home offers five bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath across four highly usable levels. The main floor feels fresh, warm and wonderfully connected, with new honey-toned oak floors, 9.5-foot ceilings and flexible spaces for living, dining, working and gathering. At its heart, the open kitchen and family room create a natural hub, featuring ceiling-height maple cabinetry, an oversized island and elegant Taj Mahal-inspired stone surfaces. A cleverly sunken mudroom keeps coats, boots and backpacks organized below the main sightline. Upstairs are four generous bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with Ritz-Carlton style, a beautifully tiled bath and an exceptionally spacious walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms share a striking new bath with a dramatic, full-height tiled shower wall. Bay windows and graceful architectural details preserve a sense of the home's 1908 story while the comprehensive renovation delivers the comfort buyers want today. The private third floor is an ideal fifth-bedroom retreat with its own full bath, dedicated HVAC and bonus space for an office, lounge or studio. The full-footprint basement, with unusually generous approximately 7.5- to 8-foot ceiling height, offers excellent potential for recreation, fitness, media and storage. Major improvements include new plumbing, 200-amp electrical service, high-efficiency mechanicals, tankless hot water, updated insulation, new finishes and an EV-ready conduit to the garage. The location may be the very best of both worlds: distinctly residential and neighborhood-like, yet approximately one block from the La Grange Metra station and moments from downtown restaurants, shops, the movie theater, Cossitt Elementary and Lyons Township High School. Also convenient to the Stone Avenue station. An extraordinary value at $1,350,000 for a truly move-in-ready home in the center of everything that makes La Grange special.
