JUST IN TIME FOR THE JOY OF SUMMER, 125 WHITEBRIDGE HILL ROAD, ON THE BORDER OF WINNETKA AND GLENCOE, HAS COME TO MARKET. THIS CHARMING 5 BEDROOM, 4.2 BATH HOME IN A DELIGHTFUL SOUGHT-AFTER NEIGHBORHOOD IS ON JUST UNDER A HALF ACRE LOT. THE HOUSE IS LIGHT AND BRIGHT WITH AN OPEN, AIRY FEEL. BUILT IN THE MID1960'S, IT HAS EXCELLENT FLOW TO THE EXTERIOR FROM THE FIRST FLOOR LIVING SPACES - LIVING AND DINING ROOMS AS WELL AS THE FAMILY ROOM! THIS IS MOST FORTUNATE BECAUSE THE REAR YARD IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND DELIGHT! THE MAIN FEATURES ARE AN OVERSIZED BLUESTONE TERRACE AND SWIMMING POOL, AS WELL AS A CASCADING FOUNTAIN. THE ENTIRE REAR PROPERTY HAS BEEN LANDSCAPED TO CREATE A BOTANIC WONDERLAND! IT IS A QUIET, PEACEFUL, CONTEMPLATIVE SETTING. IN THE HOME'S ENTRY, THE GRACIOUS MAIN STAIRCASE LEADS TO THE PRIMARY SUITE WITH A SPACIOUS, LUXURY BATH AND TWO GENEROUS WALK-IN CLOSETS. FOUR OTHER BEDROOMS, 3 ADDITIONAL FULL BATHS, A LAUNDRY AND A SECOND STAIRCASE COMPLETE THE SECOND FLOOR. THE FIFTH BEDROOM INVITES CREATIVITY - A POSSIBLE 2ND OFFICE, TEEN HIDEAWAY, PLAYROOM.....WHATEVER YOU WISH! THE LIVING ROOM ENJOYS HIGH CEILINGS BECAUSE IT IS A STEP-DOWN DESIGN. COVE LIGHTING ADDS TO THE DELIGHTFUL AESTHETIC OF THE ROOM. ACROSS THE ENTRY IS THE HANDSOME PANELLED LIBRARY/OFFICE WITH A FIREPLACE AND PLENTY OF BOOKCASES. THE GUEST POWDER ROOM AND 2 GUEST COAT CLOSETS ARE IN THE MAIN ENTRY AS WELL. THE DINING ROOM ALSO FEATURES FRENCH DOOR ACCESS TO THE TERRACE AND GORGEOUS VIEWS OF THE YARD. THIS ROOM IS ESPECIALLY APPEALING! THE KITCHEN HAS ABUNDANT CABINET SPACE, AN INDOOR GAS GRILL, HIGH-END APPLIANCES AND TABLE SPACE FOR INFORMAL DINING. THE FAMILY ROOM ADJOINING THE KITCHEN FEATURES THE OTHER FIREPLACE AND PROVIDES A FINE BALANCE TO THE MORE FORMAL ROOMS. THE SECOND POWDER ROOM IS PERFECTLY LOCATED FOR SWIMMERS' USE WITHOUT DISTURBING THE REST OF THE HOUSE. AN AUTHENTIC WINE TASTING ROOM, COMPLETE WITH ABUNDANT WINE STORAGE AND REFRIGERATION IS A HIGHLIGHT FOR A TRUE CONNOISSEUR. PLEASE NOTE THIS PORTION OF WHITEBRIDGE HILL HAS A WINNETKA ADDRESS WITH GLENCOE SCHOOLS AND SERVICES. IT IS AN EASY WALK TO THE HUBBARD WOODS METRA TRAIN STATION AND HUBBARD WOODS SHOPPING DISTRICT. FINALLY, A NEW OWNER OF THIS HOME WILL OWN A PRIVATE ONE-FIFTH UNDIVIDED INTEREST IN A RIPARIAN PARCEL OF BEACH JUST DOWN THE STREET!! YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS OF ALL AGES AND GUESTS WILL LOOK FORWARD TO MANY EXCITING CELEBRATIONS IN THIS BONUS SPECIAL LAKEFRONT SPOT.
