Overview

Located in Chicago's North Shore village of Kenilworth, this exquisite French Renaissance Revival home, designed by Maher and McDrew, is a stunning example of architectural excellence. The setting on a large, lush lot in east Kenilworth is idyllic. This extremely fine home has been meticulously maintained and expertly preserved through the years and the current updates coupled with the original design offer all of the space desired for today's busy lives. Classic details include slate roofs on both house and garage, brick exteriors with limestone details and friezes, walnut panelling, gorgeous hardwood floors, high ceilings and exceptional millwork and trim details. The first floor features an expansive and elegant living room with fireplace, dining room with built-in cabinets and shelves with an easy flow to the delightful three season porch and a family room with rich walnut paneling and generous proportions adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen is a bright and freshly renovated heart of the home with a large island, work station, abundant cabinets, fabulous ceiling height and an attached breakfast room plus spacious butler's pantry - or office or mudroom - with handsome cabinetry and a private entrance from the back terrace. The large second floor offers four bedrooms including a spacious primary suite (with full bath, dressing room and nearby office) and second floor laundry. Three more bedrooms and a full bath plus an additional half bath complete the second floor. The full third floor, also with tall ceilings, includes two bright, large and sunny bedrooms and a full hall bath. The finished lower level offers a recreation room (previously uses as a 'ballroom' as noted on the original blueprints) with fireplace and two walls of built-in shelves, billiards room, large laundry room/mudroom and generous storage plus workshop. The grounds are magnificent with a deep back yard and a private terrace with a classic brick and stone wall entrance. The large garage complements the house perfectly with high slate roof and brick finishes. The positioning of the house on Robsart Place allows for beautiful, open vistas to the north, east and west. 21/2 car brick garage with slate roof. Stunning!
