Description

UNBELIEVABLE OPPORTUNITY to live in the heart of historic LaGrange within walking distance to nearly EVERYTHING. The location of this home can NOT be beat with everything you could possibly need within a 1-mile radius including the historic downtown area, the West End area, 2 train stations, schools, shopping, dining, grocery store, golf courses, athletic facilities, pools and many other outdoor recreation areas. Founded in the late 1800's, the Village of LaGrange exudes a delightful small-town charm which caters to visitors and residents alike. While only a short train ride from downtown Chicago, you will feel like you are a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The street layout of this community was thoughtfully laid out, and the mature tree-lined streets were by design. The Village has been referred to as an "urban forest oasis" with over 10,000 trees intentionally planted for a more rural, neighborhood feel. Just around the corner from this home, you have direct access to Waiola Community Park. This 3.5 acre park was completely refurbished just last year and has amenities including playground equipment, a basketball court, T-ball fields, a soccer field and a lovely walking/jogging path. Venture a little further and you will find yourself in the quaint downtown area which is always alive with activity. The village hosts several community events to keep you busy and entertained throughout the year. Kick off summer with the weekend-long LaGrange Carnival which coincides with the historic, annual Pet Parde which just celebrated its 80th anniversary. In July, head to the downtown district for the annual LaGrange Craft Fair featuring over 200 booths showcasing talented artisans from across the region. There is also a weekly, downtown Farmer's Market which runs from May-October. Finally, end the summer with the annual West End Arts Festival. This beloved juried art festival showcases exceptional fine art, live demonstrations, interactive activities, delicious food & drinks, and acoustic music in a charming open-air setting. All of these entertaining activities will surely leave you feeling a little hungry and LaGrange has you covered there as well. For such a small community, LaGrange has a surprisingly robust and unique restaurant scene. Most of the restaurants in this area are independently owned, providing a wide variety of culinary experiences in the local "Restaurant Row." This premier western suburban dining destination features a diverse mix of cuisines, rooftop bars, brewpubs and countless al fresco dining opportunities. This home gives you direct access to all of this and so much more. Don't feel like actively engaging in all that the LaGrange community has to offer? Then you can simply relax at home on your front, stamped concrete patio where you can wave hello to all of your friendly neighbors passing by. You can also chill on your back patio in a very private, fenced in back yard. This home is so much more than just a house. It is a unique lifestyle and it is the one you have been looking for. Come make this beautiful home yours today before you miss out on this AMAZING OPPORTUNITY to live the life you have always dreamed of!
