About 638 North Edgewood Avenue
Tucked away at the north end of Edgewood Drive in the Harding Woods neighborhood of La Grange Park-right where the street curves into Harding Rd and leads to the Brookfield Zoo-this 4-bedroom home enjoys one of the most coveted, tucked-away spots in town. Backing directly to Bemis Woods, it offers front-row views to a 235-foot-deep nature retreat where morning deer sightings are the norm. Outdoor living is unmatched, with expansive decking and three large entertaining zones overlooking the woods. Inside, the main level features two oversized bedrooms, a large living room, and a formal dining space-perfectly suited for gatherings. The walkout lower level adds tremendous flexibility, with two additional bedrooms, a large rec room with custom bar, laundry area, and direct access to the backyard. A deep 2.5-car garage has room for all your gear-cars, bikes, and more. Just steps from the Prairie Path, it's a dream location for runners, bikers, and nature lovers alike. Award-winning Ogden Elementary and Lyons Township High School add to the appeal. The home has seen many thoughtful updates: a full sewer line repair and new access point added in the backyard (2024), a newer roof and windows, and a complete renovation of the lower deck with fresh wood and paint (2024-2025). The garage was reconfigured with the door repositioned to the east for easier access. The kitchen and baths were tastefully updated and still shine. The rec room now features recessed lighting, and the fireplace has been converted to gas. Landscaping has been enhanced with an underground sprinkler system in both the front and back yards. Plus, the mechanicals are in great shape with a newer boiler (2010) and hot water heater (2020).
