About This Home
As of December 2025If Wikipedia had an entry: "THE QUINTESSENTIAL WINNETKA, ILLINOIS SINGLE FAMILY HOME IN THE MOST COVETED IN TOWN LOCATION", you would find a picture and this description of 803 Cherry in Winnetka. Originally constructed in 1919, with a complete gut rehab and expansion in 2006, and meticiously maintained and upgraded year in and year out over the last 20 years, we offer four levels of living with five bedrooms, four & half bathrooms, finished basement, two car detached garage & professionally landscaped fenced yard with brick patio. You get a covered front porch entry, a circular stair to the second level, gleaming hardwood floors, Marvin windows, plantation shutters, a big wonderful eat-in white kitchen with quartz island/stainless steel appliances, new master bathroom, classic millwork throughout, built-in book cases flanking the fireplace in the living room, formal dining room and an honest to goodness mudroom . There is a real first floor office & the third floor retreat with fourth bedroom, den & full bathroom is on par with what new construction offers but with legitimate ceiling heights. The fifth bedroom & fourth full bathroom are found in the basement along with a recreation room, laundry room & generous storage/utility room. The combination of thoughtful architectural details with the practical features today's buyer wants is here and perfected over time with improvements & designer touches that would reflect Webster's definition of "UPDATED/MOVE IN CONDITION". Please see the floor plan under additional information for room sizes & layout. Knowing good things come to those who wait, this home is being offered with the stipulation that to get a deal done now, we are seeking a buyer who will close by December 31, 2025 and rent back through June 30, 2026. We appreciate that might be a high bar for some but as they say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and who knows if the market will give you anything even close in the first half of the new year. The probability that proverbial bush is located even close to this incredible spot in town is quite low. This is your opportunity to end what has been a tiresome frustrationg search in 2025 or to nip that 2026 seach in the bud avoiding the agony this market dishes out to buyers. The 2024 taxes were $19,938. This is a good house and a great opportunity for the right buyer!
