Set in one of the best East Winnetka locations, only steps to the Lake and Maple beach, this classic beauty is privately tucked away on a sensational half acre at the end of a quiet lane. This home has every conceivable amenity for today ' s family lifestyle: formal entertainment and casual family living blended beautifully. Elegant living, dining and office spaces adorn the front of the home, while the open kitchen and eating area, sun room and family room enjoy the southern exposure and views of the professionally landscaped yard in the back.
There are five spacious en-suite bedrooms on the second floor, including a luxurious master suite. The master includes beamed ceilings, fantastic seasonal Lake views, a gas-log, stone fireplace and a lovely sitting area. Custom-finished his and her walk-in closets, a linen closet and a separate shoe closet are just some of the special features. The marble bathroom, with heated floors, features a jacuzzi soaking tub- a perfect way to relax at the end of the day. A gracious, gallery hallway separates the front three bedrooms from the back two and the back staircase. A convenient laundry room upstairs is available, as well as the smaller lower level laundry.
There are eight fireplaces throughout the home; two of them are located in the lower level. All types of entertaining unfold here! The workout room, is currently being used as a kids ' play room. The spacious recreation room has two large comfortable sitting areas, one clustered around the fireplace and the other focused on the digital entertainment. A connoisseur ' s, temperature- controlled wine cellar is located just down the stairs from the formal office or living room, and next door to the proverbial " man cave " or billiard room. The sixth en-suite bedroom is also located in this extensive lower level.
Not to be missed is the continuation of the family entertaining space in the yard. This family has constructed an ice rink every winter in one portion of the back yard next to the patio where there is a fire pit and built-in barbecue area. This is the house you leave the city for without looking back! A personal tour provides more detail and genuine appreciation for the feeling that this custom home evokes.
