Exquisitely appointed 6 bedroom, 3.2 bathroom home in prime East Kenilworth location on a sun filled, private 100 x 175 landscaped lot. Home boasts a white Christopher Peacock chef's kitchen with a 48" Wolf Range, 48" Subzero refrigerator/freezer with a glass door, oversized quartzite island, custom cabinetry, stainless steel hardware, upgrades galore and separate eat-in-table area and command center office. The spectacular 38 x 22 formal living room with marble fireplace is inlaid with wood paneling that hails from an old manor house in England. The herringbone hard wood floors, velvet Ralph Lauren walls and built-in shelving make this the optimal room to entertain and gather. The formal dining room with fireplace and mantle is a multi-purpose area and can easily be utilized as a second family room with two walls of windows, surround sound and easy exit to the outdoor bluestone terrace. Completely renovated in 2015, the new 19 x 14 family room with a built-in oversized TV, has a double-sided fireplace to the exterior bluestone area. New mud-room with sink, storage, heated floors and bathroom greet you from the spacious two car attached garage with radiant heat. The 22 x 19 primary bedroom is located on the first floor located in the rear of the home for privacy and great views of the gardens and attached patio. The spacious primary suite features an entire wall of custom closets with paneled doors and a separate sitting/dressing room/office walk-in closet area that leads to the attached primary retreat marbled bathroom. The marble bath has a double vanity with undermount sinks, built-in Waterworks soaking tub, separate shower, polished nickel Waterworks fixtures and recessed mirrored medicine cabinets. The second floor has 5 additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an upstairs laundry room, second family room and 17 x 13 office. Lower level storage and second laundry room. Professionally landscaped back yard is extremely private and has three bluestone seating areas, one with an outdoor fireplace. A Koi pond draws you across the lushly landscaped backyard with potting shed and outdoor shower to cool down after a hot day at the beach or use as a dog shower. This home is close to town, train, schools (preschools, Joseph Sears School, New Trier High School) and you can hear the waves of Lake Michigan.
