Property description
Exceptional renovation from top to bottom in a prime east Winnetka neighborhood with no detail spared! Fabulous open flow on the first floor combines gorgeous kitchen with custom center island with imported Zinc counter, custom cabinetry, marble counters and high-end appliances - all open to spacious casual dining area. The kitchen flows seamlessly to the family room and private yard. Also on first floor is an elegant living room with fireplace and dining room (or sunroom/office) with gorgeous views year-round. Second floor features an incredible master suite with elegant bath, three additional bedrooms, renovated bath and cheery bonus room/office. The completely renovated and 'dug out' lower level offers a bright, large rec room, exercise room (or additional playroom), learn-from-home study space, private office, 5th bedroom and full bath. Also on the lower level is a well-designed mudroom (which is also accessed from the yard via a new staircase from the yard to the lower level) and a custom dog wash. A separate entrance to the exercise room /playroom is a well-designed feature for those who need a private entrance to this area of the lower level. A large laundry room with clothes chute completes the lower level. The fully fenced private yard offers an idyllic yard, patio and deck. Full irrigation system is an added bonus. The two car garage with storage loft adds fabulous extra storage and easy access to the house. Picture perfect setting in prime east Winnetka - nothing to do but move in!
