216 S Peck Ave.

This precisely-manicured, classic colonial home is inconspicuously camouflaging the most richly-detailed, artfully-designed homes in the Gold Coast neighborhood of La Grange. Proportionally accurate and symmetrical, the typical colonial exterior is somewhat misleading since the interior is so exciting and just a feast for the eye. This home is a modern masterpiece inspiring quiet and breathless expressions like "WOW", "whoa", and "stunning". A grand foyer greets you upon entering the home, with hardwood-flooring that ushers you from room-to-room. Formal dining and kitchen on the South and living room and family room on the North are anchored by the central staircase to private-spaces of the second-floor of the home. This home provides all the warmth, charm and genuine authenticity of an older home, but without any of the "old house" woes. The living room and dining room spaces are generous-in-size with great light fixtures and the kitchen is a cook's dream workspace with exposed, shelf-style cabinetry, a large pantry, marble countertops, and all the most-updated stainless-steel appliances. The family room adjoins the kitchen with room for a large wall-mounted flat-screen and is punctuated by a very large screened-in summer-room for outdoor and bug-free dining and relaxation. The floral aromas of viburnum and peonies draw you into the professionally-designed outdoor patio which connects you to the extra-long landscaped backyard with 2-1/2 car garage and lots of room for "playing catch" in a park-like backyard greenspace. Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms with completely brand-new bathrooms. The primary bedroom suite inspires relaxation because it has an unexpected lofted-ceiling adjacent to a spa-like primary bathroom and big walk-in closet. The finished lower-level hosts laundry, fitness and rec room. Peck Avenue has very low levels of street traffic making it a great street for old-fashioned family fun. Additionally, the home sits centrally between La Grange and Western Springs and is midway between the two LTHS campuses. Award-winning schools, easy walks to schools, and walkable access to Metra train stations make this home the BEST choice. This house - it's just so very cool!
