PRIVATE ROAD
WINNETKA, ILLINOIS

A stately Tudor on a large private, beautifully landscaped setting in East
Winnetka. This architectural masterpiece designed in 1926 has exquisite
detailing throughout – leaded windows, carved paneling, and most
spectacular of all are the intracate moldings that simply could not be
replicated today. The floors, millwork, plaster ceilings make this a one-
of-a-kind treasure. The rooms are all large scale, but in true Tudor style
not overwhelming and therefore making this a very livable grand home.
Perfect for entertaining, working from home and a wide variety of living
situations.

The 1st floor is airy and bright. The light filled large living room features
French doors leading to the rear yard. The wood paneled dining room
with built in china cabinets is the perfect setting for you next gala,
birthday or family affair. The library, solarium, fountain room and TV
room are added bonuses for escape. The Benvenuti and Stein gourmet
kitchen features a double Wolf range, Sub-Zero fridge, Miele dishwasher
complete with island, eat-in banquette and computer area.

Upstairs, the 6 bedrooms don’t disappoint. Starting with the master
suite overlooking the pool, there is a sitting area, walk in closet and his
and her bathrooms for marital bliss. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a newly
renovated jack-and-jill bathroom. One of those rooms could also be used
as a playroom, home office or study. The 4th bedroom is delightful and
includes its own full bath. Bedrooms 5 and 6 (each with a full bath) can
be reached by a private staircase so are perfect for guests, play area or
office if all the bedrooms are not needed. All bathrooms on this floor have
been updated and are well appointed.

The third floor is special. Wow is all you can say up here. It features a
large room with painted panels reminiscent of a Swiss cottage. This room
can be used as a playroom or as the current owner does, a home office. It
includes a kitchenette. There are two beautiful bedrooms and bath up
here, one large enough for two twin beds and the other a smaller daybed.
This floor is the perfect getaway however you use it - home office, AuPair
suite, kid’s haven, or in-law/house guest retreat.

Private Road is just that. A magical lane leading to the lake featuring
spectacular homes. The stately Tudor features a combination of stone,
stucco and half timbers. It is certainly large and handsome, but not
daunting in any way. The landscaping is very private and is designed and
maintained by Rosborough Partners. The pool and surrounding blue
stone patios make the perfect setting for all sorts of entertaining as well as
a special retreat. This rare and private listing is perfect for the buyer with
discerning taste and a passion for historic homes that exude character and
exemplary handcrafted details.
