Newly renovated, charming and character in every turn of this picture perfect Kenilworth home on a wide lot! This beautiful, romantic 1929 Howard Bowen designed English Tudor has been restored with transitional renovations for today's lifestyle while keeping vintage features throughout the home. Thoughtfully rehabbed from top to bottom - it look's like it's out of a magazine! A gorgeous foyer and original arched front door welcomes you into the home. You will love relaxing in the warm and inviting living room with wood beams, 10' high ceilings and a pretty bay window. Be prepared to be wowed by the well appointed kitchen - the jewel of the home! Caesarstone Quartz Countertops, a Big Chill Classic Gas Stove, new hand glazed porcelain tile flooring paired with custom cabinetry - highly stylized and practical at the same time! Hosting gatherings will be magical in the spectacular dining room with built-in and French doors that lead you to the newer Azek composite deck overlooking the private, professionally landscaped backyard. Escape to the luxurious and spacious primary suite with ample closet space and a window nook for reading. The footprint was expanded to create a newly renovated spa-like bath with double vanity, tumbled Carrera marble and black slate hexagon tile, built-in cabinet & shelving - it's the perfect oasis to unwind after a long day. Two other charming bedrooms on the second floor share a fully renovated hallway bath with new subway tile, vanity and amazing arched tub. The lower level has a walk out entrance - so there is fabulous natural light! This versatile space could serve a multitude of purposes, whether as a cozy family room, a playroom, workout room - whatever you desire - making it a valuable addition to the home. There is also a nice-sized separate office for working from home. 2-car ATTACHED garage (hard to find in the neighborhood) and a herringbone brick oversized driveway with plenty of turnaround space and ample parking spaces. They bought some of the neighbors land (once a shared driveway) to create their own, private driveway. Fabulous location - just minutes to Award-Winning Joseph Sears School (JK-8th), a short walk to New Trier High School, the beach, the soon to be renovated Plaza Del Lago Shopping and two train stops! THIS SPECIAL HOME IS A RARE FIND - A MUST SEE!
