About this home
Single Family · Built 1928 · Historic
Turnkey, Architecturally distinctive home on a beautiful large lot (80 X 170) in desirable Kenilworth! This gorgeous home perfectly blends luxurious living with modern convenience and a fabulous floor plan for today's lifestyle. As you step inside this recently renovated home, you are welcomed by the story book foyer with high ceilings, wood beams and a unique iron banister. The focal point of the home - the chef's kitchen and family room - seamlessly blended together with amazing sight lines to the expansive backyard. The stunning white kitchen boasts high-end paneled appliances (Wolf, SubZero), custom cabinetry, a large island with ample seating and a charming eat-in banquette. Gorgeous living room with original millwork and built-in shelves - you don't see everyday! The living room flows into the spacious formal dining room as well as the newly renovated (2024) office/sitting room. Mudroom and powder room on the first floor as well. Venture upstairs to discover a tranquil primary retreat with vaulted ceiling and 3 closets (two walk-in). The primary suite was rebuilt adding a new luxurious spa-like bath with elegant Calcutta Gold marble floors, custom double vanity offers, Rohl and Kohler fixtures and unwind in the Victoria & Albert soaking tub. Also on the second floor, three nice-sized additional bedrooms with ample closet space. There is a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while another boasts a newer ensuite bath part of the addition. New laundry added to the second floor as well as an additional laundry room in the basement. The newly finished lower level expands your living space with a rec room/playroom, a 5th bedroom (also used as a gym) and a new bath (thoughtfully plumbed for a shower) plus storage. You will love the indoor-outdoor living - perfect for entertaining on the large blue stone patio or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Newer roof and garage was rebuilt, widened and lengthened. SO many enhancements - ask for a list of improvements! Amazing location with access to Award-Winning Sears School (JK-8), New Trier High School, the beach, train and the soon to be renovated Plaza Del Lago Shopping. Don't miss out on this remarkable home that TRULY HAS IT ALL!
