About This Home

A RARE OPPORTUNITY...in the HEART of East Winnetka, this iconic home is among the Village's most admired residences! Commanding an elevated setting atop Arbor Vitae, the magnificent home was designed by renowned architects Otis & Clark and has earned its grand reputation as Winnetka's own "Castle on the Hill." It boasts one of the most exceptional backyard retreats! Featured in Luxe Magazine and showcased on the prestigious Winnetka Community Housewalk, the home underwent an extraordinary renovation that seamlessly marries historic grandeur with today's most coveted luxury amenities. Every detail has been thoughtfully reimagined while preserving the architectural integrity, craftsmanship and timeless elegance. A breathtaking barrel-vaulted reception gallery sets an unforgettable first impression, creating a dramatic backdrop for art collections, entertaining and everyday living. The home boasts a ton of natural light, soaring ceilings and fabulous millwork. At the heart of the home, a spectacular skylit atrium-style great room offering panoramic views of the sprawling grounds and resort-caliber outdoor living spaces: newly renovated pool, patio, built-in fire pit area and an incredible professionally landscaped backyard. A wall of French doors on the back of the home blends the indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. The designer kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring a coveted La Cornue range, Sub-Zero, Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, radiant heated floors and Waterworks fixtures. You will love entertaining in the elegant dining room, sophisticated den with custom bar to the inviting family room anchored by a new fireplace and bespoke built-ins.
