About This Home

As of March 2023

City chic in Winnetka! The best of both worlds with Winnetka Park District and The Joseph Sears School. Stunning renovation of this 4-bedroom home with first-floor family room with gas fireplace, sun-filled den/office overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard. The expansive dining room leads to the showstopper of the home -- a newer white kitchen with marble, granite, high-end appliances, and custom build in benches in the breakfast nook. The second floor includes a roomy primary suite, a walk-in dressing room/closet, and a white bathroom. Two additional bedrooms, both with loads of closet space, share a charming hall bath. The third-floor retreat is a great surprise with a walk-in closet, study area, and bright bedroom with treetop views. The lower level with high ceilings includes a rec room with a wet bar, wine frig, mudroom lockers, a genius study bar, and a large office with a glass door and plenty of windows. The storage/laundry room with shelf organizers and is plumbed in for a bathroom. The outdoor space includes a private backyard, a brick patio, and 2 car detached garage. Walk to the Sears School, New Trier High School, the lake, and the Metra from this classic North Shore home.
