Situated on one third of an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds just steps from town, train, parks, and top-rated schools, this classic Winnetka home offers the ideal combination of convenience, charm, and unbelievable indoor and outdoor spaces. The sun-filled main level offers a functional and elegant layout with beautiful hardwood floors throughout. A spacious living room with a cozy wood burning fireplace welcomes you in, while the stunning, newly renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home-featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, an oversized island with seating, and a butler's pantry with an additional oven, sink, beverage fridge, and wine fridge. The kitchen opens to a formal dining room, perfect for both casual meals and entertaining, and flows into a bright and inviting family room filled with natural light. Just off the kitchen, a thoughtfully designed mudroom provides everyday convenience with built-in storage and a practical transition space-leading directly out to the large deck and expansive beautifully manicured backyard, ideal for outdoor gatherings, play, or quiet relaxation. Upstairs, you'll find five true second-floor bedrooms, all with hardwood floors. The primary suite features an updated en-suite bath with timeless finishes, a walk-in shower, and a custom closet system designed for optimal organization. Four additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or home office needs. A second-floor laundry option adds convenience and functionality. The finished lower level adds even more functional space with a spacious recreation room, laundry area, a full bath and bedroom or office-perfect for guests or working from home. A detached 2.5-car garage with a full second floor of storage rounds out this exceptional home in one of Winnetka's most desirable neighborhoods.
