About this home
Welcome to 310 S. Waiola Avenue... a truly exceptional historic residence in the heart of La Grange's beloved Historic District, where timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful modernization come together in spectacular fashion. Set on an oversized lot surrounded by some of the village's most admired homes, this remarkable property offers what many consider one of the finest locations in town... just moments from award-winning schools, vibrant downtown La Grange, and convenient commuter train service. From the moment you step onto the expansive front porch and enter the gracious foyer, you'll appreciate the warmth, character, and architectural integrity that make this home so special. Sunlight pours into the beautiful living room through oversized windows facing south and east, creating bright, cheerful spaces throughout the day. Rich coffered ceilings, stunning stained-glass details, original millwork, painted woodwork, and soaring 9+-foot ceilings celebrate the home's historic pedigree while creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. The main level offers exceptional living and entertaining spaces, including a handsome office, a gracious formal dining room, an updated full bath, and a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring maple cabinetry, a striking cherry island, stone countertops, and original swinging doors that connect the kitchen and dining room. A charming screened porch extends the living space and provides a wonderful setting to enjoy the surrounding gardens and mature landscape. Upstairs, you'll discover four generously sized bedrooms, remarkable closet space including multiple walk-in closets, and one of the home's most memorable features... a historic sleeping porch and adjoining outdoor deck connected to the primary suite. The finished third floor serves as a magical retreat, complete with a bedroom suite that feels like a private treehouse nestled among the treetops. The current owners have carefully invested in the home's infrastructure while honoring its original character. Historic elements have been thoughtfully preserved and restored whenever possible, including original windows and fixtures, while modern updates provide peace of mind and comfort. Improvements include updated plumbing, replaced water lines, central air conditioning updated (2026), a Permaseal perimeter drain tile system, epoxy-finished basement flooring, hot water heater (2024), and a roof installed in 2016 with a 50-year warranty. The well-maintained boiler system provides dependable comfort throughout the seasons. Outside, a newer oversized 2.5-car garage (2006) is complemented by a substantial adjoining potting shed, perfect for gardening enthusiasts. The neighborhood itself is renowned for its extraordinary gardens, mature trees, and picturesque streetscapes, creating a setting that feels both historic and enchanting. Rarely does a home become available that so beautifully blends historic elegance, modern convenience, generous living spaces, and an unbeatable location. 310 S. Waiola Avenue is more than a home... it is a treasured piece of La Grange history thoughtfully and well-prepared for its next chapter....
