About This Home
Solid red-brick home on one of Winnetka's most beloved streets. Built in 2002, this beautifully proportioned home offers impressive ceiling height on every level and hardwood floors throughout, combining timeless craftsmanship with a bright, open layout perfectly suited for today's living. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, ideal for enjoying the charm and energy of the neighborhood. Inside, the home feels immediately airy and inviting, with an open floor plan and oversized windows that fill each space with natural light. Traditional details, like the classic fireplace with mantel and rich hardwood floors, pair seamlessly with the home's modern flow and sense of openness. The living room transitions effortlessly into a spacious and elegant dining room, making everyday living and entertaining feel both comfortable and refined. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with top-tier appliances, exceptional storage, and a large island that anchors the space with generous prep area and casual seating. It opens beautifully to the family room, featuring a second fireplace, custom built-ins, and direct access to an oversized screened porch-creating a true extension of the living space and an ideal setting for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers abundant space and light, along with another fireplace, walk-in closet and a spa-like bath complete with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized shower. Three additional bedrooms are all generously sized-one with an ensuite bath, and two sharing a large hall bathroom. A well-positioned second-floor laundry room with added storage makes daily life effortless. The finished basement adds even more versatility with two large recreation rooms, a full bath, and a second laundry area-perfect for a gym, playroom, media space, or additional lounge area. Outdoors, enjoy a bluestone patio and a professionally landscaped yard with irrigation and blooming perennials, offering both beauty and privacy. The attached garage includes two EV charging stations, and the porte cochere is both striking and practical-providing covered entry as you arrive through the side door. Fresh, subdued paint colors, updated lighting, and timeless finishes make this home move-in ready with outstanding long-term value. All of this just blocks from schools, parks, and the dining and shopping in Winnetka's charming village.
