A SPECIAL, SINGULAR OPPORTUNITY to own a one-of-a-kind 6-bedroom home and one *ONE ACRE on prestigious Chestnut Avenue in the Kenilworth School District! A Mediterranean Villa feel with peace and privacy - the lush and expansive grounds are unique to this area - Great Gatsbyesque. Built like a fortress - the fire-proof, stucco over arch-tile commercial construction yields energy-efficient 16" thick walls. The plaster wall and plaster crown-moulding craftsmanship throughout is outstanding. This beautifully maintained home boasts a grand foyer with statement iron staircase, expansive arched window, and double French doors to a Juliette balcony over the front door. Lake breezes flow thru 9 tall and wide double French doors stretching along the East side of the home, and wrapping around the South and the West, granting immediate access in and out, making it perfect for indoor/outdoor living and the hosting of grand affairs. The natural light in this home is simply amazing! Great entertaining spaces enjoy circular flow through 6 interior double French doors from the family room with its architecturally-unique, arched ceiling through to the gracious dining room or the formal living room with impressive fireplace, and on into the sunroom. Curl up with a book or work away in the warm, oak-paneled library with its handsome fireplace. Enjoy the expansive kitchen with spacious, family eat-in area with fireplace. There's a pretty Butler's Pantry off the dining room, a first floor laundry off the kitchen, and two powder rooms on the first floor. Ascending up the wide staircase, you will love retreating to the oversized private primary suite with its ante-room to 2 bedrooms, pretty fireplace, great closets, and marble bathroom with Kohler whirlpool/soaking tub and adjacent steam shower. Four French doors open from the primary suite to the south-facing front copper deck to watch the world go by across the deep front lawn and wide brick-paved Chestnut Avenue. There are 4 more family bedrooms served by 2 more marble bathrooms all on the second floor and all east-facing with lovely views of the gorgeous grounds. The lower level has another laundry, a cedar wet-sauna with adjacent shower, and large spaces throughout with ceiling height, adding great versatility to use however you like - rec room, media room, workout room, and tons of storage. An expansive paver driveway, with easy-access parking for four or more cars, leads to a white-tiled garage with parking for two cars and a car-sized third space for most anything. Use your imagination - the possibilities are endless with one acre on one of the most premier streets on all of the North Shore! This incredible home is in the Award Winning Jospeh Sears School District with New Trier High School. Just a short walk to the Metra, Plaza Del Lago Shopping and restaurants, and the beach! This RARE, HARD TO FIND opportunity doesn't come along everyday! Your luxury lifestyle on the North Shore awaits you!
