Property Description

One word...breathtaking! Sole ownership of this exquisite rehab & seamless expansion to ultra luxe perfection brings the essence of a French estate to life with 360 degrees of beauty from inside to out! From the moment you journey down the pea gravel driveway, you're transported to a world of extraordinary elegance & charm. Perfectly lime stained Chicago common brick sets the prominent tone crowned with a slate roof adorned with copper gutters & rain downspouts boasting stunning curb appeal. The approach is nothing short of grand, with limestone steps leading to an impressive front door, flanked by hand-crafted copper gas lanterns. Masterfully renovated by the prominent Eriksen Builders and vision by Burns & Beyerl Architects, you'll be captivated by the French-inspired design, accentuated by floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the home in natural light. The grand foyer, with its chevron oak floors, offers an inviting view of the lush back gardens through expansive doors & windows framed w/ elegant brass accents. Off the foyer, the elegant living room exudes warmth, anchored by a custom granite-surround WBFP. Flanking the fireplace are 2 inviting openings: one leads to a sophisticated blue hue from Fine Paints of Europe home office, and the other to a long hallway offering access to a hidden bar & a breathtaking sunroom. This sunroom, with its ten sets of double French doors, seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living, allowing the beauty of the gardens to fill the space. The gourmet chef's dream kitchen with eat in breakfast room is a vision in white marble, featuring an island with bar seating illuminated by polished nickel & Holophane glass pendants, and top-of-the-line appliances including a real rotisserie. Dining room adorned w/ Chinoiserie wallpaper and WBFP. Glossy blue hued Butler Pantry features built-in glass cabinetry with lighting and a Quartz c-top, creating a perfect spot for hosting. Cozy family room/second sunroom w/floor-to-ceiling doors open to lush gardens & private dining area. Artistic & striking mudroom in kelly green lacquer is almost as authentic as the art room that leads to the attached 3-car heated garage. 2nd level hosts 4 ensuite beds, including a 5-star luxurious primary suite that leaves nothing to be desired as it's like you are a guest at The Ritz in Paris. This sun-drenched retreat features a spacious bedroom w/custom marble-surround FP, a separate sitting area, his-and-hers marble Waterworks baths & 2 large walk-in wardrobe closets off each bathroom. 3rd level w/ 2 additional bedrooms that share a pristine hall bath. LL with a large recreation space, an exercise room w/ rubber flooring, a 2nd laundry rm, and ample storage space. With four full floors of impeccably designed living space, Chateau de Woodley is a sanctuary of French sophistication. Step outside to experience the botanical gardens of Winnetka, set on a sprawling 1.4-acre estate filled with fruit trees, climbing hydrangeas & organic vegetable garden. Pride of design shines through as this is sensationally curated on every level & in every room as this house is PURE MAGIC! Please note low taxes.
