About this home

Incredible new price! This sun-lit red brick center entry Colonial, with a circular drive, is located in an outstanding east Winnetka location. At this price you're getting an amazing amount of space with three floors of living and a long list of tasteful improvements. The house needs some updating, which the location supports. Baths are dated, and a little quirky, but there are 3 1/2 of them. The kitchen has been enhanced with freshly painted white cabinets, honed granite countertops and subway tile backsplash. Immediately enjoy the extensive updates including gleaming hardwood floors on first & second floors; fresh paint throughout; new carpet plus crown molding in the living and dining rooms. The first floor offers a gracious staircase; spacious living room with fireplace; entertainment size dining room; family room plus a sunroom. The second floor has three bedrooms and two baths. An additional bedroom, bath and office are on the bright third floor. Outdoors includes a welcoming deck, 2-car garage plus plenty of yard and garden space. This fabulous location is blocks from the beach, schools, parks and Metra. There is a lot to love here!

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.
