Property description
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!
