About This Home
As of August 2024Simply STUNNING- the curb appeal of this 6 bed, 4.5 bathroom, 1/2 acre, Nantucket inspired home is arguably the prettiest in Winnetka and is featured in the opening scene of Ocean's 12. Located on coveted Walden Road in the center of Winnetka where 2 nursery schools, 2 train stations, 3 downtown areas, grades K-8 and the community house are an easy walk away. Across all four levels of living, this home artfully marries the elegant architectural details of yesteryear with today's modern and more casual lifestyle. The first floor features intricate molding, plaster walls & gorgeous millwork, oversized windows, vintage hardware, 9-foot ceilings, designer lighting & finishes at every turn. The kitchen/family room - the heart of the home - features a Calcutta Gold marble island, English teak countertops, Waterworks fixtures, Subzero and Viking appliances, a thoughtful planning desk, and a built-in banquette with easy seating for 8. The attached family room with wood burning fireplace and wet bar leads directly to both a screened-in porch and an enormous wrap-around New England deck overlooking a beautifully landscaped yard designed by Rocco Fiorre - this is truly indoor outdoor living at its best! The grand-scaled living room with a 2nd gas fireplace, dreamy sunroom and dining room flow effortlessly into one another creating the perfect space for entertaining friends and family. Last but not least, the library with privacy french doors is the perfect escape for coffee and conference calls while enjoying the morning light. The second floor continues to impress with a spacious, primary bedroom suite which includes a 3rd gas fireplace, adjacent sunroom used as a second office, walk-out-deck overlooking the backyard and an exquisite carrara marble bathroom. The second floor also features three large-scaled bedrooms, a 2nd bathroom and a back staircase leading directly into the mudroom off the back door. Accessed off the main staircase, the third floor houses 2 more large-scaled bedrooms, a carrera marble bathroom and a fantastic landing perched above the treetops. The ultra cool, lower level features a family room with built-in cabinetry, climate-controlled wine room, exercise room with attached designer, spa bathroom, a home office, a fantastic laundry room with chute (you just have to see to appreciate) and ample storage. There is no other home in Winnetka like this one. It is unique in every way and deserves a special family to love it like the current owners and create their own memories for a lifetime.
