Home Details for 112 S WAIOLA Avenue

If location, curb appeal, and classic charm are at the top of your list, this home delivers on every front. Nestled on one of La Grange's most beautiful streets, it's just a few blocks from Elm Park, one block to the Stone Avenue train station and the West End Business District, and an easy walk to local schools and the lively downtown area with its restaurants, movie theater, shops and library. From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch-complete with a classic porch swing-sets the tone, perfect for relaxing summer days and connecting with neighbors. Inside, the home's character shines through with beautiful woodwork, hardwood floors, French doors, stained and leaded glass and original built-ins throughout. A welcoming foyer with an open staircase leads to both the formal living room, featuring a bay window, cozy fireplace, and built-in bookshelves, and the elegant dining room with its original buffet and china cabinet. The first-floor family room offers sweeping views of the lush landscaping, while the eat-in kitchen includes a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and a mudroom with access to the back porch and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, you'll find two oversized bedrooms, each with tandem sitting rooms or private office space and walk-in closets, along with a third bedroom and a hall bath complete with a clawfoot tub. The finished third floor adds even more flexibility with an open loft, two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The finished basement provides a rec room, ample storage and a laundry room. Outside, the fully fenced backyard features two distinct patios-a circular brick patio and a bluestone patio with a brick border-ideal for entertaining or unwinding. A rare three-car detached garage adds even more appeal. All of this is within walking distance to highly rated schools, including Cossitt Avenue Elementary, Park Junior High, and Lyons Township High School North Campus.
