In the heart of Winnetka, a home with soul. Distinguished architecture and custom craftsmanship mark this updated masterpiece in the most walkable neighborhood in our lovely village. The perfectly proportioned rooms and thoughtful layout exude the signature warmth that greets you on the heated front porch. The unique features of each of the 4 upstairs bedrooms make it tough to pick a favorite. Primary BR recently added an en suite BA and walk-in closet that welcomes the morning sun. Another ensuite BR has large walk-in shower, and yet another BR has an en suite office with views you must see to appreciate. The final BR is the largest, with southern exposure that adjoins another full BA with large tub & shower. The main floor layout makes entertaining a breeze, with its oversized eat-in kitchen that flows into a sunken family room w/WBFP, drenched in natural light. On nice days, simply open all the french doors to make the rear patio part of the living space. A charming dining room with bump-out windows connects to a classic Living Room and its eye-catching, marble hearth. A main level office, powder, and mud room complete the comfortable modern floor plan. New paint/carpet in the basement rec room that is spacious enough for theater, home gym, extra sleeping and more. Hardie Board siding and new asphalt shingle roof are ready for any weather. An easy walk to all schools (Pre through 8), metra, several new restaurants, coffee shops, parks, groceries, and the beach. Locations just don't get any better than 965 Spruce.
