Welcome home to this beautiful east Winnetka home, where classic charm meets modern comfort and the design, ceiling heights, flow and quality is is exceptional. A gracious foyer (15 x 13) welcomes you and flows effortlessly into the inviting living room with gas fireplace and to the formal dining room - complete with a cozy window seat and timeless built-ins - the perfect setting for holiday celebrations and special meals. At the heart of the home, you'll find a stunning custom kitchen featuring beautiful cabinetry, high-end appliances, a spacious center island with extra storage, prep sink and island seating for 4. A large walk-in pantry adds to the convenience of this finely designed kitchen. The adjacent butler's pantry with wine fridge and abundant storage for glassware makes entertaining easy and elegant. The spacious, bright and airy family room overlooks the backyard and deck and creates a warm, connected space for gathering and relaxing. A thoughtfully designed mudroom keeps daily life beautifully organized. Upstairs, the serene and spacious primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with its own entrance hall, large walk-in closet and generous hall closet, and a luxurious bath with custom cabinetry, double sinks and a beautiful shower. Three additional bedrooms and a renovated hall bath complete the second floor. The third floor offers wonderful flexibility with two more bedrooms (or office spaces) plus a renovated bath - perfect for guests, family or work-from-home needs. The excavated lower level provides a fantastic recreation/exercise area in the newer section under the addition and a cheery, inviting playroom, powder room, laundry, and abundant storage in the original basement. Outdoor living is just as special with a welcoming 19' x 11' front porch with ceiling fan and an expansive back deck which overlooks the fully fenced backyard (including gate at driveway), designed for relaxing evenings and effortless entertaining. South and west exposures are enjoyed in this sunny outdoor area. A 2 and 1/2-car garage adds even more convenience. All of this is located in an unbeatable location close to the train, parks, Lake Michigan, and town - truly the best of Winnetka living!
