Set on a beautifully landscaped .33 acre property in one of Winnetka's most convenient locations, 875 Gordon Terrace is a significant historic home thoughtfully reimagined through a recent comprehensive renovation and expansion. An elegant wrought iron fence with intricate scrollwork encloses the property, and the sweeping wraparound covered porch immediately sets the tone. Double doors with beveled glass divided lights open to a spacious foyer with a gas fireplace. A stately staircase, paneled millwork,...Set on a beautifully landscaped .33 acre property in one of Winnetka's most convenient locations, 875 Gordon Terrace is a significant historic home thoughtfully reimagined through a recent comprehensive renovation and expansion. An elegant wrought iron fence with intricate scrollwork encloses the property, and the sweeping wraparound covered porch immediately sets the tone. Double doors with beveled glass divided lights open to a spacious foyer with a gas fireplace. A stately staircase, paneled millwork, 10' ceilings and Visual Comfort lighting create a striking first impression. Large windows and a French door to the porch fill the living room with natural light and overlook the lovely landscaped grounds. A wood-burning fireplace makes it an easy place to gather. The banquet-sized dining room features generous windows, a built-in corner cupboard, and French doors that open to the sunroom/breakfast room. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Two substantial islands provide plenty of room for prep, seating, and conversation. A 6 foot Aga stove anchors the space, along with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, two refrigerator drawers, Bosch dishwasher, Dacor microwave, two disposals, and two full-sized sinks. Hand-scraped walnut floors run throughout, and a casual seating area centers around a corner wood-burning fireplace with Dutch tile surround. Just beyond are the family room and a sunroom with French doors leading to the private patio-an easy indoor-outdoor flow. A well-designed mudroom with slate floors is accessed from the attached 2.5-car garage and front yard, and a wall of cubbies and built-ins keeps everything organized. The second level offers four bedrooms and three full baths. The primary suite feels private and well-scaled, with a wood-burning fireplace, tray ceiling, and two large walk-in closets. The spa bath includes marble-topped vanities, a steam shower, and a whirlpool tub. Three additional bedrooms and two baths, one ensuite, complete this level. The third floor is brightened by a central skylight. A sitting room with a wall of windows and window seat creates a comfortable hangout space, along with two additional bedrooms and an updated hall bath. The lower level includes a dug-out rec room with a wall of built-in bookcases and storage below, a full bath with glass-enclosed shower, large storage closets, a laundry room, and three additional rooms for storage and utilities. All just steps from Hubbard Woods restaurants, shopping, the Metra, and schools.
