luxury real estate for sale Winnetka, United States

One of Kenilworth's most admired architectural gems, this magnificent English Manor home was designed by noted architect C. Whitney Stevens. Set on more than half an acre on a coveted block steps away from Lake Michigan, this beautiful home was thoughtfully expanded and renovated by Chip Hackley in 2017. Modern amenities were added while impeccably preserving the home's architectural integrity. Grand and timeless with elegant archways and doorways, exquisite leaded-glass windows framed in limestone, a three-story hand-carved oak staircase, richly paneled walls, coffered ceilings and intricately restored plaster moldings on the living and dining room ceilings, this home also exudes warmth and modern casual living. A gourmet kitchen area features a fabulous Barber Wilsons nickel sink from England, high end appliances, an adjacent sunny breakfast room, convenient office and a new mudroom. An addition off of the kitchen created the mudroom and stairs to interior access for newly rebuilt 3 1/2 car garage with partially finished coach house and new pool house with full bathroom. Four levels of smartly finished living space with four ensuite bedrooms, two additional bedrooms and one full bath on the second floor, along with two enormous bedrooms (one currently being used as a recreation room) and new full bath on the recently transformed third level. Included in the renovation are two new bathrooms, a gut rehabbed primary bath and four renovated bathrooms. The basement level offers two well-appointed and generously-sized recreation areas and multiple bonus rooms to meet your needs. Enjoy this ideal location blocks away from Sears Elementary and New Trier HS. Feel the lake breezes from the new luxurious outdoor oasis with stunning pool, bluestone patios and pergolas on a lush property that feels like the English countryside.

Found at the end of a narrow, forested drive, House by the Woods is a 5 bedroom, 5.1 bath home that nestles among a cluster of tall trees that pepper a grassy clearing at the center of the site. At the crest of the clearing a one-story family wing orients east to west, inviting the dappled morning sun into the private guest suite, garden, library and kitchen as the family wakes to start their day. House by the Woods is a dynamic composition of companion parts, a suite of dualities rendered public and private, through the expansion and compression of space, the application and extension of proportion, the contouring and shielding of light, and the selection and expression of material. At the crest of the clearing a one-story family wing orients east to west, inviting the dappled morning sun into the guest suite, garden, library and kitchen as the family wakes to start their day. The result is a rich collection of spatial experiences that suit a wide range of family needs, all while visually connecting the family to the forest, the sun, and the sky that encircle the site. A serene refuge for a growing family, the home provides a welcome counterpoint to the bustle of 9 to 5 life in downtown Chicago. As the afternoon sun journeys south above the trees, it is reflected deeply into the living spaces by a hovering light shelf. The light shelf offers cool shade and protection for the outdoor dining space overlooking the pool terrace. Found at the end of the one-story family wing, the library space offers a more intimate scale and experience compared with the larger adjacent spaces of the home. Late afternoon sunlight filters through the trees and into the sunroom, warming the space as the day comes to a close.To the west of the clearing, a two-story private bedroom wing intersects the main circulation path as it slips through a pair of trees, connecting the two wings, and resolving as the vertical circulation to the upper level. At the ground-floor, a generous master bedroom orients east overlooking the meadow and pool landscape, while the upper-floor family room and children's bedrooms gaze out to the vivid sunset over the forest canopy beyond. In the west the sun dips below the trees and the sky glows pink with day's end. A cool wind whispers over the clearing as the meadow rustles in the twilight. Inside, the house glows warmly with life as the family readies an evening meal and shares their day. Tomorrow is on its way and the House by the Woods will again wake to greet the sun. ****Please note, this is proposed new construction. Not built yet!***
