Steps from The Joseph Sears School and New Trier High School, this 5-bedroom East Kenilworth home has it all. A recent 2 story addition creates a dream floor plan - an open kitchen/family room. This space includes French doors leading to the deck/patio and professionally landscaped yard. This extraordinary addition includes a top-of-the-line cook's kitchen with quartzite countertops, a Subzero refrigerator, Wolf ovens, an oversized island that seats four, and a breakfast table. This sought-after living space includes a wood-burning fireplace and plenty of room for a large sectional and is truly the heart of the home. A custom butler's pantry, first-floor laundry, and powder room are included in this extensive addition/renovation. The first-floor foyer sets the stage for easy living with wide doorways and custom moldings. The impressive living room with gas fireplace and leaded windows leads into the quiet first-floor office with windows on three sides overlooking the charming streets of Kenilworth. The second floor includes a luxe primary suite that would rival any 5-star hotel with three custom walk-in closets, a spa-like marble bathroom with a walk-in shower, double sinks, and a soaking tub. The sun-filled second ensuite bedroom has a new marble bath. Bedrooms 3 and 4 share an updated white bathroom. A sitting room/study room outside the primary suite is bonus space to this roomy second floor. The third floor is an unexpected treat with a darling bedroom and ensuite bath with a walk-in shower. The bonus space on this floor can be used as a playroom or tree top office. The addition includes a deep lower-level rec room with high ceilings and can be accessed through the mudroom/kitchen and gives access to the significant storage space of the original house. The addition was orchestrated using the highest level of finishes and seamlessly blends formal and casual gathering spaces. The outdoor living space with beautiful ivy walls is reminiscent of an English garden and includes a sitting wall and patio. The forward-thinking architects added a handsome elevator during this meticulous addition that accesses all three floors. The detached two-car garage with coach house above adds the final touch to this one-of-a-kind home.
