About this home
Single Family · Built 1920 · Historic
SOLD BEFORE PRINT. 225 Ridge is an elegant and spacious 6 bedroom, 3.1 bath center-entry colonial designed in 1920 by renowned Winnetka and Chicago architect, Chester Howe Walcott. Situated on an oversized, professionally landscaped property (.49 acre) with mature plantings, this beautiful home is ideally located close to town, schools and parks. Upon entering the broad and gracious foyer with its beautiful staircase, your eye is immediately drawn to the light-filled living room (28 X 16), which opens through the original two sided fireplace and flanking doorways to the adjacent sun-flooded family room (26 X 26) with cathedral ceiling. A formal entertainment sized dining room, cozy study, powder room, butler's pantry, kitchen and three-sided breakfast room complete the first floor. Both front and back stairs lead to the second floor with 4 generous sized bedrooms, 2 single bedrooms, 3 full baths and abundant closet and storage space. A full staircase leads to the unfinished 3rd floor attic. A remarkable historic home in the ideal location awaits you! Estate sale. Sold AS IS.
