490 Orchard Ln.

Gracious proportions, large rooms, and an understated elegance define this 5BR/3.2BA Georgian Style colonial in one of the most desirable locations in Winnetka. Perched on an oversizes corner lot (165 x 71) the home has great curb appeal. And there is no shortage of space in this home with 3 full floors of above grade living space plus a finished basement. Highlights include subtle but elegant moldings and millwork, arched doorways, hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, abundant windows in every room, and a finished third floor with full ceiling height and loads of natural light, and many recent updates. Four bedrooms are on the second floor, including the primary, and the fifth ensuite is on the third floor, along with an office and a large, open, bonus room for any number of uses- studio, second family room, playroom, more bedroom space....the possibilities are endless. The basement in this 1928 home has surprisingly high ceilings, an exterior entrance and lots of space for living. The home is truly spectacular such that words and photos just scratch the surface!! There are many recent updates to the home including new roof (2018), new boiler (2011), new furnace (2019), new hot water heater (2013), newer windows on the second and third floor (2000) and newer appliances since the 2000 renovation. Bathrooms are updated too. And don't forget the lushly landscaped yard that is SW facing so lots of good sunlight to play and garden. This one is truly a gem.
