The one you've been waiting for-this Nantucket-style stunner checks every box and then some. Welcome to 953 Spruce Street, a picture-perfect, custom-built home by Orchard Glen Homes, nestled in the heart of Winnetka. Just steps from the train, town, restaurants, parks, and top-rated schools, this newer construction (2009) gem combines timeless design with thoughtful updates and everyday convenience. With approximately 5,200 square feet of finished living space, this home offers room for everything and everyone-without sacrificing warmth or charm. Set on a deep 187-foot lot, the home impresses from the start with its beautiful cedar shake siding, copper gutters, premium Andersen E-Series windows, and professionally designed landscaping by Red Spade-complete with a custom firepit, lush perennial gardens, stone patio, full sprinkler system, and fully fenced yard. Inside, the charm continues. You'll find hardwood floors throughout the first and second floors, 9-foot ceilings, custom millwork, arched doorways, and built-in speakers on the main level, in the primary suite, and the lower level. The floor plan flows effortlessly, offering a true living room, elegant dining room, and large mudroom to keep life organized. At the heart of the home, the kitchen was designed for real living-featuring soft-close cabinetry, two sinks, an oversized island, a brand-new Sub-Zero fridge (2022), a Wolf double oven range, and built-in microwave. A dedicated breakfast room brings in abundant natural light, while the adjacent butler's pantry includes a beverage fridge, sink, white quartz countertops, and marble tile backsplash. The warm and inviting family room with fireplace and custom built-ins is perfect for everyday moments and cozy evenings. Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms has its own en suite bathroom and custom closet-no one has to share! The spacious second-floor laundry room adds ease to daily routines. The primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, private balcony overlooking the backyard, and a luxurious bath with black hex tile floors, soaking tub, large marble-surround shower, double sinks, white cabinetry, and marble countertops. The finished third floor offers a private space-ideal for dual offices, a homework zone, or an additional hangout area. The lower level is fully finished and built for fun and function: enjoy a second kitchen with dishwasher, fridge, and microwave (perfect for game day or entertaining), a large recreation room with fireplace, a full theater room with projector and tiered seating, a fitness room, 5th bedroom, and full bath. There's even a large storage room originally designed as a wine cellar. This home truly has it all-style, space, updates, and location. Come experience 953 Spruce for yourself and see why it stands out in every way.
