About This Property
Welcome to this impeccably updated, classic red brick, center-entry
colonial home located in the heart of East Winnetka. Just one block
from Lake Michigan, two blocks to the Village Green, and only four
blocks to the Metra station. Over the past twenty years, this
classic home, originally constructed in 1942, has been completely
renovated with all of today's amenities while maintaining the
character of the original design. The stylish interior perfectly
complements its timeless exterior. Upon entering the home,
you will immediately notice the attention to detail and care that
has been put into every aspect of the numerous renovations and the
exquisite professional decorating. The spacious living room
is the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining guests, featuring
an oversized gas-log fireplace with a contemporary stone surround
and flooded with natural light through the floor to ceiling windows
and from the updated lighting. The adjacent library has been
refreshed with stunning custom Wood Mode bookcases and wool flannel
wallcovering adding warmth and elegance. The dining room is equally
impressive with custom wainscoting, dramatic English bookcases, a
beautiful bay window area, and plenty of room for hosting large
dinner parties. In addition, the more intimate breakfast room is
just off the kitchen and features French doors that open to the
rear terrace, inlaid floors with a herringbone pattern, and custom
built cabinetry to complete the space. The gourmet kitchen was
updated in 2015 and features "Calcutta'' marble countertops with
full slab backsplashes; a resurfaced island with Vesta cabinet
panels; 48" Viking range; two refrigerator drawers adjacent
to the Sub-Zero refrigerator freezer; and an artist-designed,
nickel finished vent hood is the centerpiece of the kitchen. The
family room with coffered ceiling and recessed lighting is where
everyone gathers throughout the day. Anchored by the second
oversized gas-log, updated fireplace, the family room envelopes you
in its warmth. Perfect for entertaining, the built-in wet bar
with double refrigerator drawers, a dishwasher and icemaker along
with custom Vesta cabinetry, that matches the kitchen island,
offers hosting ease. Upstairs, you'll find four
generously-sized bedrooms, each with its own unique charm and
style, great closets, and excellent natural light. The luxurious
primary suite features stunningly lit custom shelves and gorgeous
hardwood floors. Finished in 2020, the completely updated en-suite
bathroom with a walk-in steam shower, make-up station, dual
vanities, heated floors overlook the rear garden through French
doors and a Juliet balcony. The dressing room is the "wow" factor.
This completely new addition was added above the library and
features premium California Closets cabinetry with marble
countertops and a mother of pearl built-in mirror and antique
crystal chandelier. Outside, the impeccable front and rear
landscapes were designed by landscape architect, Rick Grant, and
installed and maintained by Chalet Nurseries. Mature Arbor Vitae
and yew hedges provide privacy while climbing trellises,
architectural gates and fencing and numerous perennial beds create
the perfect setting for outdoor living and entertaining. The large
blue stone terrace, accessible from three of the ground floor
rooms, is perfect for grilling and dining al fresco whether for a
small intimate gathering or a large event. The lush green lawn,
perennial flower beds, blue stone patio, and mature trees provide
an exterior space filled with beauty and tranquility. You
must see this classic beauty to understand and experience the
quality, sophistication and love that has been infused in this
home. This is a true Winnetka gem.
