About this House
An extraordinary Colonial offering timeless elegance, exceptional estate-like privacy, and breathtaking views along the 12th hole of the Winnetka Golf Course. Set on nearly one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds and positioned approximately 250 feet from the road, this property feels like a private retreat yet is just minutes from downtown Winnetka, the Metra, premier shopping, dining, and award-winning schools. Designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday living, the home features generously scaled rooms, hardwood floors throughout, and an inviting floor plan. The living room with fireplace and custom built-ins flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, while the sun-filled family room showcases sweeping golf course views. An updated kitchen with a spacious breakfast area anchors the home, and a first-floor den provides flexible space for a home office, library, or fifth bedroom. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with a fireplace, sitting area, outdoor deck, and stunning views. Thoughtfully renovated and maintained by the current owners, this exceptional home offers a bucolic setting, golf course walks and cross-country skiing outside its back door. Cherished by the same owners for the past 28 years, a true testament to the home's timeless appeal.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNew Trier high school is full of students who bully others relentlessly. The administration sweeps all sorts of problems under the rugs. They really only care about students who are athletes and parents who donate money. Many move here because of the schools. Our family can’t wait to leave because of how awful the administration and teachers have treated my children.Parent Review3mo ago - New Trier Township H S Northfield

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a school and a district in chaos.The new principal is unsuited to the job. She is unable to lead, hides in her office all day and doesn’t return phone calls.The district superintendent is obsessed with test scores. She hired a data scientist that is high up in the administration. This should tell you everything you need to know: progressivism is out, timed testing for kindergartners is in. Astonishingly little choice time for kindergartners. Data, data, data, testing, testing, more testing, says the administration.Respected educators are told to get on board with the new “literacy” regime or get out. Beloved teachers are being forced out. Parents are upset, and some who would otherwise send children to HWS are going private to avoid it.Parent Review1y ago
