About this home

City chic in Winnetka! The best of both worlds with Winnetka Park District and The Joseph Sears School. Stunning renovation of this 4-bedroom home with first-floor family room with gas fireplace, sun-filled den/office overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard. The expansive dining room leads to the showstopper of the home -- a newer white kitchen with marble, granite, high-end appliances, and custom build in benches in the breakfast nook. The second floor includes a roomy primary suite, a walk-in dressing room/closet, and a white bathroom. Two additional bedrooms, both with loads of closet space, share a charming hall bath. The third-floor retreat is a great surprise with a walk-in closet, study area, and bright bedroom with treetop views. The lower level with high ceilings includes a rec room with a wet bar, wine frig, mudroom lockers, a genius study bar, and a large office with a glass door and plenty of windows. The storage/laundry room with shelf organizers and is plumbed in for a bathroom. The outdoor space includes a private backyard, a brick patio, and 2 car detached garage. Walk to the Sears School, New Trier High School, the lake, and the Metra from this classic North Shore home.

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.
