About this home

If you've ever driven down Brainard Ave in La Grange near the Country Club, you'd be hard pressed to miss this beautifully landscaped, stately colonial. The brick circular driveway is the perfect welcome and sets the tone for this charming 1930's three story home with full basement. Hardwood floors throughout the home with a circular floor plan that includes a large living room with gas fireplace, separate dining room, refreshed eat-in kitchen with many newer appliances, main level office with built-ins, powder room and main level combo mud and laundry room with included 2nd refrigerator. On the 2nd level, you'll find four bedrooms including the primary with generous en suite bath, 2022 remodeled hall bath, multiple linen closets and a rooftop deck. The 3rd level is a surprise with its vaulted ceiling family room (a great hang out spot for the kids) and a 5th bedroom or office and large cedar closet. The basement provides more living space and includes a large finished rec room with wood burning fireplace (as-is), and several other rooms and bonus areas, plus additional powder room, remodeled 2023. The home sits conveniently adjacent to the sidewalk that leads down the path to Lyons Township South Campus (9th & 10th grade), and is also a straight shot down Brainard Ave to North Campus (11th & 12th grade) - both schools are conveniently in walking distance. For grade school age kids, they can grab the bus to Cossitt Elementary School one short block away! Need to catch the train to Chicago? Stone Avenue Station is less than a mile away. Boiler new in 2021, A/C condensers about 2018, Furnace age unknown and Hot Water Heater 2023, Slate tile roof maintained. Hurry and don't miss out on this gorgeous home!
