Description

Enjoy easy North Shore living in this beautifully maintained East Winnetka home, where you'll catch glimpses of Lake Michigan right from your driveway. Built in 2005, this newer construction home offers a rare combination of quality craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, and a layout that truly works for everyday living. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring new quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, a new hood, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances (SubZero, Bosch, Thermador), and a generous island with space to gather. It opens seamlessly to the family room with fireplace-perfect for both daily routines and relaxed entertaining. Upstairs, the second level includes a spacious primary suite along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The third floor adds a fourth bedroom and full bath, offering great flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The bright and expansive lower level is designed for comfort and versatility, with generous recreation space, a second family room with built-ins and fireplace, a fifth bedroom, full bath, and laundry. Additional highlights include California Closets throughout, custom window treatments and plantation shutters, and beautiful built-ins. Outside, enjoy a brick paver driveway and patio along with a fully fenced backyard. Set on a quiet street just moments to Greeley Elementary, New Trier High School, beaches, town, the Green Bay Trail, parks, and Metra-this is a home that offers both convenience and an exceptional North Shore lifestyle.

    "Lived here for 22 years. Raised our family here. Would do it again given the chance. Great mix of people from different backgrounds and heritage. Only downfall is politically backwards and cannot get anything done in the village that’s required to stay current with infrastructure or lifestyle. "
