If a classic holiday movie house grew up, got a designer renovation, and added a full-blown sports and cinema level, it would look a lot like this Winnetka Georgian estate. Set behind a perfectly symmetrical brick façade with black shutters and an arched entry, the home feels instantly familiar yet dramatically elevated the moment you step onto radiant-heated hardwood floors under coffered ceilings.
The main level is all about togetherness without sacrificing elegance. The great room flows into a chef’s kitchen that runs on dual marble islands, professional appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook—equally ready for Thanksgiving spreads or late-night pizza. Formal dining and living rooms keep the Georgian gravitas, while four fireplaces scattered through the floor plan create those “gather around” moments all year long.
Upstairs, the primary suite takes on true retreat energy with a 16-by-19-foot footprint, spa-like marble bath, and custom storage. Three additional second-floor bedrooms plus a massive 25-by-16 third-floor suite flex for family, guests, or private creative space. First and second-floor laundry, dedicated office and den, and thoughtful built-ins make daily life feel streamlined instead of cluttered.
Then there is the lower level—the place every guest talks about afterward. A professional home theater with stadium seating sits beside a regulation indoor basketball court laid with custom Wisconsin Badgers flooring, plus a wet bar, rec lounge, and exercise room designed to keep winter weekends and school breaks fully self-contained.
French and pocket doors pull the party outside to a screened porch, private hot tub, and landscaped half-acre lot with patios and lawn framed by mature trees. In the Village of Winnetka—minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, village shops, Metra, New Trier, the Botanic Garden, and Ravinia—this is the rare North Shore home that nails both the fantasy-movie feeling and the everyday rhythm of high-function family life.
