Situated on over 1/3 of an acre in the heart of Winnetka, it is much larger than it appears from the street. While maintaining the original integrity of the home, an exceptional addition resulted in a great room, family room, master suite, home office and a third floor with two bedrooms and bath. The cook's kitchen, designed by deGiulio includes an oversized island and adjacent breakfast area. French doors from both the family room and the great room lead to the paver patio and a picturesque, deep backyard with a 3-car garage. The formal dining room with butler's pantry flows into the original cozy living room with one of the three wood burning fireplaces. The second level includes the master suite plus three more bedrooms, two additional baths and the laundry. This special home is the perfect place to create lasting memories.
