Presenting the Gaylord House, built in 1919 and designed by well-known architect Arthur Woltersdorf. Extensive interior and exterior renovations and expansion completed in 2003, including a dramatic two-story brick balcony/bluestone porch on the front elevation with elegant balustrades on both levels. The transformation retained the classic character of the original home while seamlessly incorporating all the modern luxuries, space, and amenities you would expect in a home of this caliber. Exquisite and timeless architectural details in every room, including custom millwork, high ceilings, stone fireplace surrounds, diamond pane windows and transoms, and much more. 7735 square feet above grade, including garage, on a lot that's more than a 1/2 acre with underground sprinklers. MAIN FLOOR: The light-filled main floor features elegant, grand-scale living room, dining room and family room, each with fireplace. Expansive contemporary designer chef's kitchen by award winning Snaidero-Pininfarina with high end appliances, and spectacular island under an eye-popping vaulted skylight. Ideal open floor plan with kitchen/breakfast room/family room across the back of the home with an abundance of light from south-facing walls of windows overlooking the yard. Bright sunroom features planting sink and palladium windows on 3 sides. Additional main floor amenities: mud room/laundry room, office, two powder rooms and attached 3-car heated garage. SECOND/THIRD FLOORS: The primary suite and all 4 additional bedrooms on the second floor include generous walk-in closets and en-suite baths; all are accessible from the front or back staircases. Walk through French doors from the primary bedroom to a recently updated weather proof deck. Second floor also includes a convenient full size laundry room. On the third floor you'll find a guest suite, including a 6th bedroom and full bath. BASEMENT: The lower level features a 7th bedroom and full bath, along with a recreation room and dance/exercise room with mirror and ballet barre. Additional spaces are ready for second kitchen, media room, craft/hobby area, office and/or whatever the next owner wants or needs. This gracious home is steps away from New Trier High School, and a short walk to the Joseph Sears School (JK-8), Metra train, and Lake Michigan beaches.

Single-Family Residential District
The requirements set forth in this chapter, together with other provisions set forth in the Building Code of the Village, have been adopted in order to provide for a single-family residential environment of relatively intense suburban character, where the degree of improvements upon an individual parcel of land is in approximate balance with the landscape area of such parcel of land. Due to the mature character of development within this district, such requirements are also intended to assure that future modifications to existing structures, or the replacement of existing structures with new structures, will not alter the scale and general character of established neighborhoods. In this regard, the requirements set forth in this chapter are further intended to foster development which is compatible, in general, with the character of existing single-family development within the immediate neighborhood with respect to external architectural scale, landscaping and other site improvements.
