Heritage meets Modern Practicality. Stripped to the studs in 2009 and sensitively updated to celebrate Winnetka Heights Prairie architecture at its finest. Visitors are welcomed by a full front porch, with brick columns, meticulously restored brick-by-brick, and a projecting gabled portico, unique to this sought-after historic district. Step inside to marvel at expansive formals with a piano salon, recessed lighting, a working gas fireplace, original longleaf pine floors, rarely available unpainted wood, divided-light windows and beamed ceilings. The light-filled kitchen blends vintage charm with modern function, featuring custom cabinetry, dark honed granite countertops, hex tile floors, stainless appliances and a built-in eating nook. The casual den, near a walk-in closet and a full bath, could serve easily as a 5th bedroom especially for quests who prefer to remain downstairs. Four good-sized bedrooms are upstairs plus a fabulous screened porch off the primary bedroom provides a peaceful, tree-top retreat for relaxing year-round. Don’t miss the oversized detached two-car garage, fenced backyard, vintage brick patio and a custom poultry coop with its own address. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined street just minutes from Bishop Arts, Stevens Park Golf Course and within walking distance to the new Kevin Sloan Park and neighborhood favorite Cenzo’s Pizzeria & Deli!
