19 W Elm Ave.

The location of this home in the heart of the historic section of La Grange is the finest in the village because of the walkability to METRA train, village amenities, and schools. Some of the very first residents of the town built this dollhouse-looking charmer - and they would be over-joyed at the effortless way in which ALL of the modern updates (that are consistent with new construction) blend in with this extra-special historic La Grange home. The curved cobblestone walkway greets you as you approach the one-of-a-kind storybook entrance of this charming home. With mature oak and maple trees, bay windows, darling porch, whimsical facade, this home evokes a feeling of timeless elegance. Inside, the flawlessly re-designed floor plan with generous sized and bright rooms for family, dining, living, and large kitchen breakfast room, replicate the experience of a newer home build. Professionally designed gourmet kitchen makes both cooking and party making a pleasure because it includes a big island, high-end newer appliances, and views of the extra-wide backyard space (60 feet). The convenience of the first floor spacious mudroom is ideally located near the lower-level rec room and the first-floor family room. Your sanctuary on the second floor includes a tranquil primary suite featuring a large walk-in closet and Ritz Carlton-like primary bathroom with heated floors, jetted free-standing tub for baths, hot water return, and steam-room. There are also three other large bedrooms and a bonus room. The finished lower-level of the home has a large family rec-room space with a full bathroom and lots of storage. The lower level is conveniently located to the backyard. The weekends are found outdoors on the custom-built outdoor-living patio with outdoor cooking spaces and professionally-landscaped backyard. This makes for great family gatherings and entertaining because of the prideful backyard outdoor environment with gas-outdoor fireplace. The backyard is so great that it is boastfully featured on the website of the company that provided the install and design. This home has dual zone heat. This home is walkable to top-rated schools (including Cossitt and Lyons Township High School), parks and the fun-filled Village of La Grange. Get your cooler and lawnchair ready for the best location to celebrate the beloved La Grange Pet Parade.
