    What's special

    Estate-Owned Property in coveted Winnetka Location. Exceptional opportunity on a 9,000 sq ft lot (60 x 150) in one of Winnetka's most desirable neighborhoods. This home offers incredible potential. Renovate. Expand. Build new....up to approx. 3,600 sq ft (per current Village guidelines, to be confirmed by buyer). Ideal for downsizing or growing family...bring your ideas and plans and lets go! Make no mistake....this home needs it all, but the end result could be an enchanting bigger-than-it-looks cottage ready for another hundred years. Estate sale - property conveyed strictly as-is. Outstanding location: Close to Metra, downtown Winnetka, Lake Michigan, parks, trails, and shopping. Top-rated schools. This is a rare chance to build or reimagine in a premier North Shore setting!
