Originally built in 1919 and thoughtfully updated over time, this remarkable home beautifully blends timeless architecture with today's modern comforts, all while exuding character, warmth, and charm at every turn. Upon entry, you are greeted by a gracious foyer featuring a breathtaking curved staircase with wrought iron spindles, herringbone hardwood floors, and intricate dentil molding that immediately set the tone for the home's classic elegance. The oversized sunken living room is truly special - offering beautiful sightlines to the sunroom and bluestone patio beyond. French doors, custom built-ins, and a gorgeous original wood mantel create a warm and sophisticated gathering space equally suited for everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen has been beautifully refreshed with a new island, marble countertops and backsplash, open shelving, and a new Wolf range and hood. The gorgeous dining room is ideal for entertaining, while the stylish first-floor powder room, complete with exquisite Iksel wallcovering, a custom white oak marble topped vanity, and Waterworks fixtures adds a sophisticated designer touch. The charming mudroom with marble tile floor offers both beauty and functionality. Upstairs, you'll find four beautifully designed bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including an oversized primary suite complete with a bright and sunny office or sitting room. All guest bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated with marble flooring, Ann Sacks tile, custom vanities, and Perrin & Rowe fixtures. Convenient second-floor laundry completes the upper level. The lower level offers excellent storage space, and the attached garage adds everyday convenience. Extensive improvements have been made throughout the home, including a brand-new slate roof. This is a truly special opportunity to own a timeless East Winnetka home just moments from Lake Michigan, downtown Winnetka/ Hubbard Woods, parks, beaches, and train.
