Most residents agree that this home is the most unforgettable and elegant in the Village of La Grange. It proudly sits high on the oversized (108X151) formal-style landscaped lot, with arched windows, overhanging eaves, decorative brackets, extensive decoration and a green-tile roof. A stately presence from the street sets the stage for monumental-scale interior. Decades of attentive ownership have brought about many tasteful upgrades and modern improvements including updates to gourmet kitchen (2019), all new Pella Windows (2018), new bathrooms (2016), an updated primary bathroom (2016), and other modern day touches. Rich hardwood and Italian tile floors, multiple fireplaces and expansive rooms are characteristic of this Italian Renaissance-inspired home. The flowing floorplan roots the home in refined yet relaxed livability. A grand foyer welcomes you inside the home's embrace, ushering you to the elegant 30X16 foot living room featuring a cavernous Hollywood-style fireplace and wall-to-wall windows overlooking the terraced gardens on the elegant street of Sunset. Further inside the home, the spacious updated kitchen feels as if it has been transported from a modern-day Italian palazzo and placed in La Grange. The kitchen opens up to a gracious dining room & a large sun-filled family room with oversized furniture and theatre-sized tv. Unique to the home is a first-floor private office adjacent to the kitchen. On the 2nd floor of the home, there are two primary bedrooms, two very large family bedrooms, and 3 full baths. The larger primary bedroom is extraordinarily grand with an adjoining heated sitting porch and spa-like bath. On the third level, a very large unfinished attic provides creative opportunity for bonus space. The finished basement is perfection with exposed brick, an unforgettable entertainment and party area, bar, fireplace, laundry, bath, gym, and extra storage. Set behind privacy gates, there is a large courtyard with multiple outdoor seating areas, a dramatic outdoor fireplace overlooking the professionally landscaped, tree-shrouded backyard. Generous parking with a two-story brick-and-stone garage, a newly-poured concrete driveway creates a fun backyard area for family and entertaining. A sought-after location places you within steps to town, train and schools. This home is the crown-jewel of the Gold Coast neighborhood of La Grange!
