We--designed custom built-ins are located throughout the home. Gracious formal living room with fireplace and dining room provide classic elegance, while the inviting family room, also with fireplace, flows easily from the kitchen and opens to a charming four-season sunroom/gazebo, creating the perfect connection to the pool, hot tub and backyard. A full bath with shower is located in this area, adding convenience for the pool. An inviting first-floor library with fireplace offers an ideal work-from-home space or a second family room/den.

A large walk-in attic provides tremendous storage and practical expansion potential if desired. The lower level is designed for recreation and relaxation with a media/game room with fireplace, an exercise room with high ceiling, and a private, versatile office space which is ideal for homework, crafts, or a gift-wrapping station. A separate unfinished basement offers tremendous storage and is conveniently access via a staircase from the kitchen. A second laundry area is located here. Set on an exceptional 110 x 200 landscaped lot, the outdoor spaces are truly special-featuring a pool, hot tub, expansive entertaining patio, and abundant green space for play. A conveniently located pool shed offers storage for pool furniture during the winter and the attached, heated two-car garage is an appreciated feature. Sunny raised garden beds with southern exposures offer the perfect spot for flowers, vegetables, and herbs. Privately set amid lush mature landscaping yet just minutes from town, train, schools, and everything Winnetka offers, this home combines timeless architecture with the feel of a private retreat on beautiful Hill Road.
