Winnetka, Illinois 60093

***BROKER OPEN CANCELLED FOR TUESDAY 11/19!!!*** 228 Sheridan Road sits at the center of a unique cluster of iconic Winnetka homes reminiscent of Italian Renaissance Revival architectural style. This residence makes a visual statement with ornamental stonework around the Palladian-like windows that open to the lawn and a stone balustrade on the balcony that evoke a bygone era. Its front yard is composed of a green lawn promenade that allows for unobstructed vistas of the park and the lake across the street! Tucked back from the road to ensure privacy yet gives a sense of belonging to the thrum of activity along the lakefront. Located along the North Shore's most scenic thoroughfare, the property provides a quiet not usually afforded such close-knit neighbors. Beautifully articulated French windows flood the residence with light from morning sunrise to afternoon twilight. A paned glass roof on solarium faces the west patio and garden & blurs the lines from inside out. The interior of the house has many original details from terrazzo floors & arches. The interior design aesthetic gives a nod to mid-century sensibility with crisp clean lines that let the house stand its own. Perfect for entertaining, the crisp white kitchen with center island flows easily to LR or DR. The LR has a wbfp for cozy nights. A grand piano holds court in front of the French windows overlooking the promenade & lake but one could create an additional seating area, as well. A charming game room leads into the large family room w/skylight where all can gather for favorite activities in front of the fireplace. A charming powder room is hidden away for privacy. Custom built-ins house your book collection or curated objets. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms with primary centered in front of the 13 X 22 balcony that overlooks the promenade and even better views of the park & Lake Michigan! Have fun furnishing the balcony with greenery & furnishings to enjoy several months of outdoor living gazing at the lake. Primary bedroom has 2 separate baths with a wall of closets, BR 4 is used as a music room, BR 2 is a guest room and BR 3 is set up as an office. Bath 3 serves BR2 & BR3. Basement houses utility room, W/D, storage.
