Key Facts
Description
A rare 1930s Tudor in the heart of La Grange's Country Club neighborhood has been masterfully reimagined by local builder Riordan Legacy. Preserving its architectural charm - including the signature storybook turret - while executing a stunning expansion and full renovation, this home now reflects a harmonious blend of historic character and sophisticated modern design. The result is refined craftsmanship, exceptional flow, and curated finishes throughout. The heart of the home is a stunning eat-in chef's kitchen designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. A generous center island with seating anchors the space, complemented by dedicated table space, a walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry for seamless hosting and organization. The step-down living room offers warmth and character with a statement fireplace and oversized picture window that fills the space with natural light. A private main-level office provides the ideal work-from-home setup, while a well-designed mudroom keeps busy family life beautifully organized. Upstairs, four bedrooms on the same level-including convenient second-floor laundry-create the layout today's families want. The serene primary suite features a double-sink vanity, walk-in shower, private water closet, and a built-in makeup vanity for a polished, spa-like retreat. A thoughtfully designed hall bath offers abundant vanity storage and a tub for growing families. The expanded basement with 9' ceilings extends the living space with a versatile rec room, additional bedroom and full bath-perfect for guests, a nanny suite, or teens-plus flexible space for a gym, playroom, or media lounge. All of this just steps from award-winning schools, parks, the train, and downtown La Grange's shops and dining!
