865 Auburn Rd., Winnetka, IL 60093

Tucked away on a coveted private road, yet just steps to town of Hubbard Woods, is an architecturally significant, solidly-built renovated home on 2/3 acre of breathtaking grounds with mature trees and lush landscaping. Clean lines and pristine, this updated 6BR/4.1 BA home was built in 1925 by noted architect John Van Bergen with Wisconsin limestone exemplifying organic architecture in harmony with nature. Throughout the home, the open grandly scaled rooms with large windows accentuate the verdant surroundings. The expansive bright living room centered by a wood burning fireplace is adjacent to a wonderful sunroom with natural limestone walls and panoramic vistas of the beautiful gardens, sharing the vistas is a gracious dining room. A sleek gourmet kitchen (2020 renovation) opens to a fabulous family room addition with soaring 16 ft. ceilings and radiant heat floors; this room is symbiotic with the outside through the many windows. Upstairs there are six large bedrooms including a spacious primary with a recently renovated luxurious primary bath (2020). Five large additional bedrooms share an updated Jack and Jill bath and two recently renovated baths. The basement has a large rec room with natural light, laundry, and a bedroom/bath opportunity. Enjoy multiple patios and 3 phases of perennial gardens on this supremely private 125 x 212 lot, beginning with April bluebells and perennial blooms in the summer and multi-colored hydrangeas in the fall. The stone centerpiece framed by a boxwood hedge is perfect for contemplative meditation. This gardener's paradise includes rare specimen lilacs and Norwegian spruce: all within walking distance to town, train, parks, and schools!
