La Grange, IL 60525

This true Historic gem sits prominently on one of the largest lots in the Historic District. With 110 feet of frontage and 200 deep at its deepest point this Victorian farmhouse is like no other. The side yard can be kept to allow for a pool, garden, your own private park or work with the village to sub-divide the west side of the lot and build a new home. The location is a commuter's dream - less than two blocks from downtown La Grange with restaurants, library, movie theater, shops and the BNSF train to Chicago. Walking distance to area schools including Cossitt Ave and award winning LTHS. The show stopping curb appeal with a 40 foot front porch with robust columns offers a glimpse of the original character found throughout this historic home. Incredible 9 1/2 foot ceilings, custom moldings, natural woodwork, French doors, beamed and coffered ceilings, hardwood floors and leaded glass windows throughout. The vestibule entry leads to a gracious foyer with grand staircase to the second floor. Wonderful entertainment sized living room with double French doors opening to the front porch and the first floor family room. The inviting wood-burning fireplace with stately mantel has a rebuilt chimney with new liner and flue.The first floor office (potential first floor bedroom) is adjacent to the living room. The spacious formal dining room features an original pocket door, coffered ceiling and swinging door to the butler's pantry with a built-in china cabinet. The sun-infused eat-in kitchen with antiqued cream cabinets and stainless steel appliances is off the back of the home with easy access to the backyard. The second floor has five spacious bedrooms and a second full bathroom with huge potential to convert a bedroom into a master bathroom. The walk-up third floor would be an amazing family room, media room or playroom with another bedroom or incredible office. Large unfinished basement with tons of storage with both exterior and interior access. Unbelievable yard, street appeal and detached 3 car garage. This home is an estate and is being conveyed "as-is". Buy this house and make it your forever home!
