20348 Elkwood Street

Beautiful and spacious open-concept home located on a remarkably quiet, low-traffic street in Winnetka. This property stands out from standard models in the area, featuring a significantly larger lot size, a wonderful private swimming pool, a beautiful covered back porch/patio perfect for family enjoyment, and a custom fire pit area ideal for outdoor gatherings. Built in 1979 and meticulously updated with a major structural remodel completed in 2020, this house features a high-efficiency zoned central HVAC split system located in the attic with three independent zone controls, including dedicated cooling and heating for the garage structure. The attached garage has been fully finished and converted into a versatile, private guest suite/bonus living space with its own separate climate control. What to Love About This Home: The seamless layout is perfectly designed for family unity and indoor-outdoor enjoyment. The heart of the house is a fabulous open-concept space that connects the large kitchen, the spacious dining area, and the cozy family room with its beautiful fireplace. It is the perfect central gathering spot where the family can enjoy a great TV show together, allowing whoever is cooking at the massive center island to stay fully connected with friends and family at the 5-seat dining table. This warmth extends right into the backyard, a spectacular private oasis featuring the swimming pool, a custom fire pit, and a dedicated barbecue area built for memorable gatherings. Upstairs, the master suite is a massive retreat of over 600 square feet, showcasing a spa-like master bathroom complete with a private sauna, a separate soaking tub, standalone shower, double vanities, and a beautiful semi-enclosed balcony that we love using for our exercise equipment while enjoying the morning light. Throughout the home, premium wood blinds add a touch of timeless elegance and provide excellent sun protection, while the high-efficiency double-pane windows provide fantastic energy savings.
