Meticulously maintained central-entry brick Colonial in the sought-after Hubbard Woods School District. Offering grand living spaces filled with natural light, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home truly checks every box. A gracious foyer opens to the inviting living room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, abundant windows, and custom built-in cabinetry. The separate dining room, with French doors leads to the sunroom and expansive professionally landscaped yard. The charming white kitchen has newer appliances and a planning desk, while a first-floor office is conveniently located adjacent to a full bath with shower. Upstairs, the luxe primary suite features a beautifully renovated bath with heated floors, a walk-in shower, and a heated towel rack. Three additional spacious bedrooms share an updated hall bath with tub. The lower level offers an expansive recreation room, new washer and dryer, and plenty of storage. A hard-to-find attached 2-car garage and generous driveway parking add to the home's appeal. Perfectly located across from Nick Corwin Park, just a short drive to the expressway, and within walking distance to town, this classic Winnetka combines timeless charm with spaces for today's lifestyle.
