La Grange, IL 60525 437 S Catherine Avenue

Welcome to an incredible, beautifully expanded American Four-Square right in the heart of the historic district of La Grange! From this surprisingly huge home, you'll be just a short hop (about 5 blocks) from highly regarded Cossitt Elementary and North Campus of Lyons Township High School, a tiny skip (just one block more) from downtown La Grange restaurants and shops, and little jump (just another block) from the Metra station which features a 24 minute express train to the city! Thoughtfully expanded and upgraded, this home features modern amenities that blend seamlessly with timeless character. From the charming enclosed porch which overlooks the attractive neighborhood, you'll enter the foyer and living room that are filled with natural light through large, abundant windows. The chef's kitchen features all stainless appliances including a Wolf oven range and Fisher Paykel 2-drawer dishwasher. The kitchen opens to the dining room through a built-in wet bar featuring a beverage refrigerator. The kitchen also opens to the family room featuring one of the two wood-burning fireplaces (with gas starters) and built-in custom shelving and cabinetry. You're going to love the powder room and the huge mud-room with handsome built-in open lockers and drawers. Through the mudroom, you can head down the attractive open staircase to the recreation room with a heated floor and high ceiling. The second floor is amazing too, with four generously sized bedrooms and two full baths including a huge primary suite with the second wood-burning fireplace (with a gas starter), a walk-in closet and spacious bathroom. The second floor laundry room is another great perk in this sprawling home. Up on the third floor, you'll find another huge bedroom plus a large closet and the stubbed in plumbing for a future bath. The yard is going to make you want to call your friends, with a large brick-paver patio and a Trex low-maintenance deck for the party-sized hot tub!
