Built by premier North Shore builder Orchard Glen Homes, this lightly lived-in home presents like new and reflects thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail at every turn. Set on a beautifully landscaped 1/3-acre lot, 525 Ash Street unfolds across four expansive, light-filled levels, offering more than 6,700 square feet of refined living space, including a 2,500 sf finished lower level, with 5+ bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 2 half baths. A bright and gracious foyer introduces the first floor, where a handsome library with exquisite built-ins creates an ideal work-from-home setting or quiet retreat. The elegant dining room is complemented by a beautifully appointed butler's pantry, perfect for seamless entertaining. At the heart of the home, the bespoke kitchen is anchored by a generous quartz island and outfitted with professional-grade appliances, multiple dishwashers, custom cabinetry, and a spacious and cleverly integrated walk-in pantry. Natural light pours into the adjacent breakfast area, while the kitchen flows seamlessly into the inviting family room, centered around a warm fireplace and connected to a relaxed sitting area with a full bar. Floor-to-ceiling French doors from the breakfast area, family room, and sitting room open to a broad stone patio overlooking lush grounds. At the center of the patio, a gas fireplace with a TV above serves as a striking outdoor focal point, while the expansive patio easily accommodates multiple seating and dining areas-an exceptional setting for outdoor living and entertaining. A standout mudroom offers exceptional functionality with multiple storage closets, a farmhouse sink, auxiliary washer and dryer, and a half bath, conveniently accessed from the side entrance and attached garage. The second and third floors offer 4-5 bedrooms designed for comfort and privacy. The primary suite serves as a serene escape, featuring a sitting room with fireplace, built-in beverage refrigerators, and a coffee station. The spa-inspired bath includes a soaking tub, spa shower, and radiantly heated floors, while a sunlit 9'x15' walk-in closet provides exceptional storage. The flexible layout allows for the creation of a fifth upstairs ensuite bedroom if desired. A versatile third-floor suite with charming window seats offers the perfect setting for a guest retreat, private office, or teen hideaway. Each bedroom enjoys its own bath, and a second-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience. The expansive 2,500-square-foot lower level is designed for recreation and entertaining, featuring a large recreation room, full bar with extensive cabinetry, dishwasher, ice machine, and kegerator, a 19' x 20' exercise room with adjacent sauna-ready space, wine cellar, ensuite bedroom, and a flexible multi-purpose room. The home is further distinguished by a Brava shake roof, copper gutters, inground sprinklers, whole-house generator, security system, and built-in sound throughout much of the residence. The property is completed by a two-car attached side-load garage and a rare separate two-car detached garage. With exceptional craftsmanship, refined design, and a premier east Winnetka setting, this pristine residence presents a rare opportunity to own a remarkable home in one of the North Shore's most desirable neighborhoods.
