Full of authentic character and charm, this one-of-a-kind country farmhouse offers over 4600 square feet of living space spread over three floors. Situated on over 1/3 of an acre in the heart of Winnetka, it is much larger than it appears from the street. While maintaining the original integrity of the home, an exceptional addition resulted in a great room, family room, master suite, home office and a third floor with two bedrooms and bath. The cook's kitchen, designed by deGiulio includes an oversized island and adjacent breakfast area. French doors from both the family room and the great room lead to the paver patio and a picturesque, deep backyard with a 3-car garage. The formal dining room with butler's pantry flows into the original cozy living room with one of the three wood burning fireplaces. The second level includes the master suite plus three more bedrooms, two additional baths and the laundry. This special home is the perfect place to create lasting memories.

R4
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.
