Steps from Lake Michigan, this stunning 5BR+/4.1BA brick home is ideally situated on an expansive extra-wide lot (70x186) in a prime walk-to-everything east Winnetka location. Renovated down to the studs with an addition in 2002 plus a kitchen refresh in 2019, this home combines timeless architecture, modern sophistication and thoughtfully designed interiors boasting soaring ceilings, arched entryways, intricate millwork, rich hardwood floors, and customized details throughout. The smart and generously scaled floor plan seamlessly connects formal and casual spaces while maximizing natural light and offering picturesque views with an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The gracious foyer leads to a handsomely appointed dining room and oversized formal living room with a stately fireplace and floor to ceiling windows, opens to a sun-drenched sunroom or potential first floor office. The generously scaled family room, anchored by custom built-ins, a fireplace, and a wall of windows and French doors, overlooks the deck and professionally landscaped backyard - extending the home's living space. At the heart of it all is a gourmet cook's kitchen equipped with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, a large center island, and quartz countertops along with a spacious breakfast area and a built-in command central desk. French doors connect the kitchen and adjoining family room to the outdoor living areas, enhancing the home's open and airy ambiance - perfect for both entertaining and everyday life. Additional main-level highlights include a large walk-in pantry, and a spacious mudroom and custom storage solutions. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spa-inspired marble bath, dual walk-in closets, custom cabinetry, and a versatile attached room ideal for either a nursery or separate dressing area. Three additional bedrooms-each with organized closets and adjacent baths (updated in 2022) along with a second-floor laundry room and access to a private deck complete the upper level. The fully finished lower level features over 9-foot ceilings and includes a large recreation room with built in wet bar, game area, home office/exercise, sixth bedroom, full bath and generous storage -whether for relaxation, work, or play, this level provides exceptional versatility. Step outside to enjoy the lush, professionally landscaped grounds filled with mature trees, fragrant gardens, a spacious deck and patio - an ideal backdrop for outdoor gatherings or peaceful afternoons. Perfectly located, this exceptional home is just a short walk from the lakefront, train, downtown Winnetka, and top-rated schools. Move-in ready and meticulously maintained, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable home in one of the North Shore's most desirable neighborhoods.
