Thoughtfully renovated with a fresh coastal aesthetic, this light-filled home beautifully blends timeless architectural detail and old-world craftsmanship with today’s airy, modern style. A welcoming foyer opens to a gracious living room with hardwood floors, gas fireplace, and a charming covered porch-perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The elegant dining room features recessed lighting, refined millwork, sweeping views of the professionally landscaped grounds and tiered brick terrace, and a built-in bar designed for seamless entertaining. The beautifully renovated kitchen blends style and function with high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a coffee bar, oversized island with seating, and a sunlit breakfast area ideal for gathering and entertaining. The inviting family room radiates warmth and character, featuring custom built-ins, a striking beamed ceiling, and expansive glass doors that seamlessly connect the indoors to the outdoors. The tranquil primary suite features a private sitting room and master bath. The second floor also includes three additional family bedrooms and two full baths.

The finished lower level offers outstanding living space with a recreation room, exercise room, bar area, laundry, half bath, and ample storage. Completing the package is an oversized 2.5-car custom garage with additional storage. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in one of East Winnetka’s most desirable central locations.
