Description
RECIPIENT OF THE WINNETKA PRESERVATION AWARD, this 5 bedroom, 3.2 bath, 4-level, RENOVATED, historically accurate New England Colonial is EXCEPTIONAL in every way. Perfectly set back from the road on a tree-lined street, this meticulously maintained home allows for privacy in the center of a sought-after Hubbard Woods neighborhood where 3 nursery schools, K-8 schools, 2 downtown areas, Lake Michigan, athletic fields, paddle, golf, tennis, and the train station are just a walk or short bike ride away. The heart of this home boasts an enormous kitchen/family room combination with a five-burner Wolf gas range, double ovens, extensive dovetail cabinetry, floor to ceiling pantry, black granite countertops, a gas fireplace, custom built-ins and 3 sets of French doors leading out to a covered two-tiered blue stone patio. Off the family room on one side is a 3-season, bluestone porch overlooking a private and extensively landscaped yard by notable Red Spade Landscape Architect. Off the other side of the family room is a side entrance attached to a family-friendly mudroom with custom cubbies just steps away from a newly rebuilt 2.5 car garage wired for electric charging along with a mezzanine storage area. Adjacent to the kitchen, find a picturesque breakfast/dining room overlooking the front yard for casual or formal dining depending on lifestyle. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful millwork and 2 more sets of French doors leading out to a SECOND BLUE STONE PATIO and pergola. The second floor features a serene primary suite with a gas fireplace, his and her closets, double sinks, dual-head steam shower and jacuzzi tub. Three more nicely scaled bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, complete the second floor. On the third level, find a 5th bedroom and dedicated private office or 6th bedroom and accessible attic storage space. The lower level features a second, enormous family room complete with a kitchenette perfect for playdates, teenagers or Saturday college football parties. You will also find a SECOND, DEDICATED OFFICE, a workout area, laundry room, 1/2 bath and more storage. Other notable features include comprehensively updated mechanical systems, new Marvin double pane windows throughout, an in-ground sprinkler system, a whole house generator, and 2020 taxes of $16,742. The first through 3rd floors offer 3,138 sf of living space. The lower level offers an additional 1,015 sf of living space for a grand total of 4,152 sf. The current owners are only the 4th owners of this historic home and each prior family has spent no less than 25 years living in the home, so it is truly a place to put down roots and build a life.
