From evening front porch parties under the twinkle lights, to walking into town to grab your Hometown latte on the way to the train, it doesn't get much better than this IN-TOWN East Winnetka gem. Oh...and if Home Alone is your favorite Christmas movie, you can walk past it every day on your walk as it's only four doors down! This special, well-loved home exudes warmth & comfort from the second you step up to the welcoming front porch to the top floor office overlooking beautiful tree-lined Lincoln Street. Very deceiving from the front, there is an incredible reveal on each of the four floors of living as notable North Shore architect, Healy Rice seamlessly blended the old with new to live well. With incredible attention to detail, this fabulous great circular floor plan is rich in millwork, glass doors, bay windows, trim and tailored hardware. Gracious formal living room off the foyer makes for a great place for conversation off the porch when the entertainment goes inside. Handsome marble fireplace & window bench leads into the cozy great room. This room has another fireplace with Ann Sacks tiled surround flanked by custom cabinetry & bookshelves with large French doors that step down to private backyard. At the heart of the home, the best kitchen as it invites you to cook, hang or entertain all day. The ultimate Chef's kitchen with Silestone counters, top of the line appliances, oversized farm sink, island with breakfast bar seating & sun-drenched breakfast area overlooking the backyard. Awesome Butler's pantry leads into the formal dining room. Second level with 4 bedrooms including the oversized master suite & bath that is exceptional & completely unexpected with large his and her walk in closets. New second floor large laundry and 3 additional family size bedrooms including the "sister suite" with a built in desk between the two rooms. Another level of living can be found on the third level with a great office space & bedroom/playroom with bath. Great finished lower level with large rec, exercise room, and full bath. This house has it all and could never be replicated as it's simply one of a kind! If you are looking to leave the city... 651 Lincoln Street is where you want to transition to as it will already feel like home!
