Deceptively spacious, meticulously maintained and freshly painted throughout, this charming Craftsman-style stucco bungalow blends timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout. Original architectural details have been beautifully preserved, including refinished oak, maple, and fir hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, substantial 7-inch base moldings, stacked cove moldings and beadboard ceilings on the second level. The inviting living room features a classic Craftsman front door, a brick wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves and a handsome display mantel. An adjoining sunroom, surrounded by newer divided-light windows, opens through French doors to a screened porch, creating a seamless flow for everyday living and entertaining. The formal dining room is filled with natural light from a large picture window and showcases two built-in corner china cabinets. The updated kitchen offers traditional oak cabinetry, stone countertops and space for casual dining. Three first-floor bedrooms and a renovated full bath provide convenient main-level living. Upstairs, the finished second level includes two additional bedrooms, a vaulted beadboard ceiling with skylights, a second full bath, a spacious loft/family room and an expansive unfinished attic offering abundant storage. The partially finished basement adds valuable living space with a large recreation room, laundry area, utility room and a dedicated workshop with exterior access. Outside, professionally landscaped grounds are complemented by a paver brick walkway, patio, and driveway, as well as a detached 2.5-car garage. Ideally located in the sought-after Northwest End of La Grange, this home is within walking distance of the Stone Avenue BNSF train station, West End shopping and dining, neighborhood parks, and highly regarded schools, including Ogden Elementary, Park Junior High and Lyons Township High School.
