Bring your rehabbers or builders! Incredible opportunity in a prime Winnetka location. Beautifully situated on .35 acres and built on a 90 X 170 lot, "Solid Rock" has been in the same family for nearly half a century. Walter Burley Griffin, a well known architect, designed this Prairie School gem in 1911. Barry Byrne later added a second story to the original home. The classic Prairie School details have been preserved while a flexible floor plan provides large rooms that are spacious and open. Today's buyer will appreciate the eat in kitchen opening up to to a large dining room and living room combination. An East facing sunroom is surrounded by windows on 3 sides. The cozy family room adjoins a breezy screened in porch facing the backyard. A 1st floor bedroom and bath allows for a primary bedroom on the main level. Upstairs are 3 additional bedrooms, including a large primary bedroom, and 2 full baths. This premier location is a stone's throw away from New Trier East and feeds in to the Kenilworth school district. Close to the train, beach, parks and outdoor skating park.
