Property Description
This East Winnetka finely built red brick colonial delivers above & beyond luxurious living with a phenomenal location steps to the Indian Hill train station, blocks to New Trier East and Greeley Elementary, and best yet...Elder Park beach, which will be opening summer of 2026! With only 17 houses on this tucked-away street, this timeless architectural classic doesn't miss a beat as the four floors of expansive living make perfect sense. Step inside to a traditional formal foyer accented with lightly stained grey oak hardware floors, Farrow & Ball freshly painted walls, soaring ceilings, tailored millwork, and an abundance of natural light. Formal living is the perfect size with FP w/ soapstone surround leads to a finely appointed dining room w/walk-through butler's pantry. Recently revamped Chef's kitchen with White Dove cabinetry, thick quartz island with RH hardware amplifies this fab space. Separate breakfast space overlooks private, professionally landscaped backyard. Large sun- drenched family room with FP ideally opens to kitchen and breakfast room w/ built out mudroom. A large office with custom built-ins and Phillips Jeffries grasscloth wallpaper is the perfect private getaway room. Expansive second floor with a massive luxury primary suite with an enormous walk-in closet outfitted with custom antiqued built-in dressers. Spa stone bath with steam shower, dual vanities, and soaking tub. 2nd and 3rd bed w/ Jack-n-Jill bath with Carrera marble c-tops and tub. 4th bed with en-suite bath, full 2nd floor laundry, and a reading nook. 3rd floor is used as an art studio now, with roughed-in plumbing for another bath, and then converting to a 6th bed. Awesome deep LL with soaring ceilings, exercise room, and 5th bed with attached bath. Huge rec room accented w/ a flagstone wall with a full bar & walk-in wine cellar, which is now serving as a billiards room. A separate theater room with a projection screen is the best unexpected bonus of this level. Grounds are so well done with bluestone patios & natural arbor vitae privacy fence. Plus a 2-car attached garage for added convenience. There is not one box left unchecked on this special home, as it just feels so solid and even shows better in person. Your answer if walking to everything is something you value in North Shore living.
