Meticulously renovated from top to bottom, this picture-perfect home blends elegant charm with modern comforts. The beautiful two-story foyer sets the tone, leading to a formal living room and spacious dining room - ideal for hosting gatherings. The heart of the home is the stunning open-concept kitchen and family room, expanded in 2017 to enhance everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen features quartzite countertops, inset cabinetry, a Miele steam/convection wall oven, a Bluestar range, a beverage refrigerator, and a large island with seating. The family room is anchored by custom built-ins and a gas fireplace, and the large sliding doors provide natural light and views of the fenced yard and paver patio. The first floor also includes a mudroom, convenient laundry, and stylish half bathroom. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a steam shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, and linen closet, and a renovated hall bath complete the second level. The recently finished basement offers even more living space, including a bright 5th bedroom, full bathroom, large rec room, work-out space, built-in office desk and cabinets, and a 3-zone wine refrigerator - perfect for guests, work-from-home days, and movie nights. With thoughtful exterior renovations - including Hardie Board siding, roof, windows, hardscape, and more - there's nothing to do but move in and enjoy. Located just steps from vibrant downtown La Grange, the train, award-winning schools, parks, and more.
