Location, space and privacy combine in East Winnetka just one block from Sheridan Road and Lake Michigan. Set amid some of Winnetka's finest estates, this rarely available half-acre lot presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build your dream home in an idyllic setting with lake views. Originally part of a larger estate, the property is currently comprised of a modest New England-style brick and cedar Colonial-one of only three homes on the entire block, giving it an unparalleled sense of privacy. The traditionally styled residence has 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The first floor features a gracious knotty pine living room opening to a classic screened porch, powder room, wet bar/kitchenette and attached garage with laundry. A private yard can be enjoyed off the porch with picturesque views of the expansive tree-lined property stretching beyond. Upstairs, the main living quarters contain two bedrooms, a full bath, full kitchen and a dining room/family room highlighted by a fireplace. Use the existing home as a starting point, or begin anew. Bring your vision to this special property nestled in a quiet pocket of town within walking distance of Lloyd Beach, Tower Road beach, downtown Winnetka and the Village Green. Enjoy the ultimate North Shore lifestyle from 740 Humboldt.
