Very special opportunity to own this iconic all American East Kenilworth beauty. Woven with a Ralph Lauren classic design elegance, this is the one that everyone knows & loves. This stately & elegant pillared white brick colonial perfectly perched above the street is beautifully set on an extra-wide corner lot, just steps to Sears School and KW beach and New Trier. Completely rebuilt & graciously expanded by Paul Konstant in 1997, this classic home was transformed into the ultimate family compound perfect for today's lifestyle. Inside offers an ideal circular floor plan over all four floors of finished living space. Step into the dramatic 2-story foyer with a sweeping staircase and access to every room on the first level. The Chefs kitchen at the heart of the home is the ultimate gathering space with a comforting and inviting modern country feel. Updated with top of the line appliances, oversized island with breakfast bar seating, & black granite countertops, all opening to the family room, separate breakfast room with second family room, and formal dining room. Breakfast room leads out to the back bluestone patio with grilling & eating area for perfect summer nights. Large mudroom with w-i-c & side door out to fire pit area and 2-car garage w/ coach house. To the other end of the kitchen is the main family room w/ gas fireplace, custom cabinetry w/ wet bar, & sliding doors also leading out to the grilling patio. Continue through into the gracious living room with a wood burning FP and oversized windows overlooking the front and side yards. Through the back of the living room is a sun-drenched office that leads outside to another bluestone patio set above the lushly landscaped side yard. Spacious second level has 5 beds including a luxurious master suite w/ marble fireplace, office, marble bath, walk-in closet, private wraparound deck overlooking the East grounds. 4 other family beds with 2 large Jack-and-Jill baths. Finished 3rd level has two guest bedrooms with a hall bath. It doesn't stop there with the ultimate hangout spot found in the finished LL. Large game/media room with built-in custom bar steps down into another large dugout recreation room. Exercise room, full bath, and oversized laundry room also in the LL. Impeccably manicured grounds, paver brick & stone walkways, and bluestone patios all done by Rocco Fiore adds the finishing touch.
