About this home
Set behind mature landscaping on a breathtaking and rarely available full acre, this extraordinary Winnetka residence offers the kind of space, privacy, and walk-to-everything convenience that almost never coexist. Thoughtfully reimagined through a complete gut renovation and expansion in 2010-including a new lower level, this 6-bedroom, 5.2-bath home lives beautifully for today while honoring timeless architectural character. Mornings begin in the sun-filled kitchen at the heart of the home, where everyday moments flow effortlessly into the expansive family room. French doors open to a screened porch w/ heated floors, perfect for summer dinners, morning coffee, and evenings overlooking the blue stone patio and yard. Gracious formal rooms set the stage for holidays and celebrations including the well appointed wet bar, while two private offices allow for quiet productivity and flexibility. An oversized mudroom makes busy days feel organized and easy. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat: peaceful, private, and complete with a spa-like bath and generous dual walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths provide comfort and space for family and guests. The 2nd floor laundry is a work horse with dual washer and dryer plus sink, cabinets and counter space. The third floor offers incredible versatility with a large lofted flex space, two more bedrooms, and a full bath-ideal for teens, visitors, or au pair living. The finished lower level invites connection and recreation, featuring a spacious rec room, dedicated workout space, full bath, and abundant storage. Outside, the full acre becomes your private sanctuary; room to play, entertain, garden, or simply unwind beneath mature trees. All of this, just moments from downtown Winnetka, top-rated schools, parks, and the Metra. Expansive yet intimate. Private yet connected. A rare opportunity to enjoy estate-like grounds without sacrificing the ease of in-town living. Sellers require a fall closing....
