A true gem in Winnetka's "tree streets", this beautifully updated and expanded 1930 traditional home offers a blend of historic charm, modern sophistication and open-concept living. Winner of a 2008 Winnetka Preservation Award, meticulously planned and executed renovations over the years have breathed new life into the classic bones of the home, beginning with the gorgeous, tiled entry that flows seamlessly into a large living room with fireplace, dining room and office beyond. Sightlines extend to the rear kitchen and great room area, facilitating a natural flow that's perfect for entertaining. Traditional moldings and details, such as the original corner built-in hutches in the dining room, hardwood flooring, and fireplaces, add a touch of timeless elegance. A testament to scale and light, the great room creates a welcoming space with a fireplace, soaring vaulted ceilings and access to the backyard with a freshly painted wood deck and lushly landscaped fenced-in backyard. Renovated in 2024 with a clean transitional aesthetic, the kitchen offers another gathering place for friends and family with top-of-the-line Wolf, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, plus quartz countertops with seamless backsplash, open shelves and a large center island with ample storage and seating. Adjacent to the kitchen, there's plentiful pantry storage and a spacious mudroom with built-in cubbies, and an attached garage for added convenience. Every detail of this home has been carefully curated to provide an enjoyable living and entertaining experience, including a butler's pantry, a renovated powder room and a gracious home office. Upstairs, a skylight illuminates the landing leading to four large bedrooms. The primary bedroom suite was designed to be a true sanctuary of luxury with vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet and a spa-inspired marble bath featuring a separate shower, soaking tub, dual vanities and ample storage. A second bedroom has a full ensuite marble bath; two other bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom. These bedrooms are flooded with natural light from south-facing windows. A third-floor attic space provides flex space for a second home office, playroom, or a potential fifth bedroom. A finished basement level presents a secondary family room or recreational space, along with a laundry room and more storage. Walk to Crow Island, Skokie, Washburn, and the Nielsen Center. This impeccably updated Winnetka classic is not to be missed.
