Some homes make you choose between character and convenience. This one rather politely declines.
Set beneath mature trees in the Winnetka Heights Historic District, this fully renovated three-bedroom, two-bath Craftsman makes a strong first impression with deep navy siding, crisp white trim, natural wood front doors, and a wide covered porch overlooking neighborhood green space.
Inside, original hardwood floors bring warmth from room to room, complemented by oversized windows, substantial millwork, and an abundance of natural light. The floor plan feels open without losing the architectural character that gives the home its sense of place.
The primary suite is a standout. Multiple windows keep the bedroom bright and airy, while French doors open to a beautifully renovated bath with a double vanity, fluted wood cabinetry, brass-framed mirrors, warm statement lighting, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower wrapped in rich green tile. The second full bath has character of its own, with a granite-topped vanity and marble-tiled tub and shower surround.
The updated kitchen is designed for both gathering and everyday life, with a generous island, plenty of cabinetry and workspace, and a dedicated pantry. Toward the back of the home, a sun-filled dining area is wrapped in windows and opens directly to the deck, creating an easy connection between indoors and out. Other updates include new HVAC and insulation.
Out back, mature trees create a wonderfully shaded setting with a deck, fenced lawn, stone pathways, and a detached two-car garage. It feels private, established, and ready for long dinners outside or an unhurried Saturday morning.
With Bishop Arts just minutes away and the Kevin W. Sloan Park close at hand, this home offers the character you come to Winnetka Heights for, with the thoughtful updates and everyday functionality that make staying awhile especially appealing.
