999 Hill Road

Winnetka, Illinois 60093

Set on a private, oversized lot, 999 Hill Road is known as one of Winnetka's most impressive French country homes. Designed by renowned architect Jerome Cerny, and built to the highest standards, this 5 bedroom, 4.1 bath home has undergone a meticulous renovation and expansion to seamlessly blend formal and casual living spaces. The elegant facade, pebbled driveway and double door entry sets the stage for extraordinary living. A large foyer leads to the living room with tray ceiling, fireplace and custom bookcases. The living room opens to porch with vaulted ceiling and views of the expansive professionally landscaped yard. The west side of the home includes an original paneled library with picture window overlooking the yard. The dining room has entrances to the foyer and the heart of the home-- the stunning traditional French kitchen with an expansive island, custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and vaulted reclaimed beam ceiling. Appliances include multiple Sub Zero refrigerators, Abbaka custom hood, Wolf double oven and double Miele dishwashers. This exceptional space includes a large breakfast area and bay window. The kitchen connects to a wet bar with built-in Sub Zero wine storage and to the expansive sun-filled family room with paneled walls, custom bookcases and French doors opening to the back patio. The sought after first floor primary suite introduces a luxe retreat that would rival any 5- star hotel, with a bathroom featuring a cast-iron soaking tub and double shower. A large walk-in closet completes the space. The 2 1/2 car attached garage, roomy mudroom and laundry finishes the first-floor space. Three additional bedrooms on the second floor include a paneled, ensuite bedroom along with two spacious bedrooms with shared bath. An additional bedroom can be accessed by a second staircase and provides flexibility for a guest suite, workout room or home office. The lower level consists of a rec room with fireplace and extensive storage space. This exquisite home was renovated with the utmost care and quality, with materials including Pella custom windows, Perrin & Rowe and Herbeau plumbing fixtures, combined with flooring by Ann Sacks and Paris Ceramics, to preserve its architectural integrity while making it fresh for the 21st century. 999 Hill is the best of both worlds - an ultra-private oasis in desirable Crow Island School District, New Trier High School and walk to town location!
