COUNTRY CLUB SETTING

An exclusive, sought-after location on a picturesque, half-acre property and a sprawling, sunny disposition give 10 Calle View Drive in LaGrange a high profile on the local housing market. Designed for easy living, meticulously maintained and brilliantly expanded, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath brick ranch proves you really can have it all.

A private drive meanders through a canopy of mature trees before introducing visitors to the home’s resort-like grounds. Professionally landscaped with great consideration for privacy and exterior vistas, the curve and scope of this property are exceptional. Adjacent to the LaGrange Country Club golf course, yet completely walkable to schools, shops, parks, etc., this is a newer construction, estate level neighborhood that feels remote while offering easy access to everything.

In front, a covered porch draws guests past a cheerful perennial garden and toward a dramatic double-door entrance. Inside, a large receiving foyer offers a central vantage point from which to appreciate this 2850 square foot home. Thoughtfully designed to wrap around the backyard and draw the outdoors in, there is an immediate feeling of light and space upon entry.

Ahead, a 20 by 15-foot sunken living room features light oak floors, midcentury detailing and an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. It steps up into a 15 by 11-foot formal dining room, which offers sliding door access to a delightful, outdoor patio oasis.

A spacious, 22 by 12-foot central kitchen, featuring granite countertops, newer appliances and plentiful storage, is equally well suited to large scale entertaining and intimate family gathering. A built-in organization desk offers a central hub for task management, while a generous breakfast area accommodates a large table and teems with natural light from a massive bay window.

Homebuyers looking to recharge or reconnect with friends and family will be thrilled upon entering the home’s west wing, where a 35 by 16-foot, great room has been thoughtfully added to create a wonderful, multi-purpose gathering space. In this sun-drenched room, a cathedral ceiling is paired with exposed wooden rafters to create an environment that is grand without sacrificing warmth. A woodburning fireplace and wet bar define a social zone near the kitchen, while a lounging area with panoramic backyard views sets wall space aside for the flat screen. A well-appointed powder room and laundry room are adjacent.

The great room offers yet another opportunity for home owners to step outside and enjoy this one-of-a-kind property. Jutting out to create a prairie style, courtyard effect around the brick paved patio and deliver knock-out views, the additional looks as if it were always a part of the home. Mature perennial beds and evergreen shrubs sweep around the perimeter of the backyard in a pattern that mimics the patio lines and lends a vacation vibe to the grounds.

The home’s east wing provides quiet, out-of-the-way quarters for resting and refreshing. An impressive, 18 by 14-foot master suite features his and hers, double-door cedar closets, a wall of windows and a private master bathroom.  Two additional large bedrooms (each 14 by 12-foot in size) boast peaceful views through oversized windows and large cedar closets. One has a wall of beautiful built-ins. They share a well-equipped hall bath featuring both a shower/tub combo and a separate walk-in shower.

And in the unlikely event that this home’s exceptional main floor character leaves you wanting more, its basement takes style, function and family living to a whole new level. A 38 by 26-foot recreation space sets the stage for a fully loaded game room and media lounge, while a gas start, wood burning fireplace delivers warmth and charm. An additional walk-in cedar closet and an 18 by 26-foot utility room down here will surely exceed your storage expectations.

Homes of this quality, in this much-coveted neighborhood, do not come on the market very often. This one will not last long. Contact Jim Blaha at United Realty for more information.
