This Mayo and Mayo Masterpiece is set on 1.225 acres of lushly landscaped property in a prime, private, east Winnetka location. This house is well known for hosting notable events over the past few decades, because it is both inviting and accommodating for a large gathering. Handsome architectural detail is evident inside and out, from the exterior balustrades, leaded windows, and newer (2019) wood shake roof and copper gutters, to the interior entry gallery with quarter-sawn oak paneling, an elegant stairway, a stone fireplace, and an array of French doors accenting the formal rooms. The graciously scaled Living Room, Dining Room, and Library all open to the gallery and create a perfect space for gatherings large and small. The Living Room is accented by window walls north and south, a woodburning fireplace, and hardwood floors. Relax in the Family Room dappled by sunlight throughout the day. This casual space has the original limestone floor, built-in storage and overlooks the wooded ravine and rear grounds. The Library has been recently renovated and features tall bookcases, the original tile floor, and French doors that open to the patio. There is space to entertain your guests elegantly or more intimately in the formal Dining Room, with room for both a large table and a small second table. DiGulio designed the Kitchen carefully to include a breakfast area, butler's pantry, and an island prep area. It is fitted with granite counters over white cabinets and stainless steel appliances. A Mudroom opens off the kitchen to the back door. The private quarters on the second floor include a gorgeous Primary Suite with fireplace, luxurious marble bath with whirlpool tub and steam shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. The gallery of the second floor is light and airy and opens to three family bedrooms with three additional baths. Incredible space on the third floor includes three bedrooms and two baths all with high ceilings, built-in storage, and attic space. A three car attached garage includes a surprise Club Room above, perfect for a studio, rough-house room, or storage. The basement extends the full length of the house and demonstrates how well the house is built and the updated mechanics. A Recreation Room, laundry, workroom, and storage are all found there.
