Perfectly located on sought-after Sheridan Road in the heart of Kenilworth, this stately red brick colonial sits quietly behind a circular drive and landscaped gardens, offering wonderful privacy on nearly a half acre. Originally built in 1918, the home has been extensively renovated to blend timeless character with the comfort and functionality of modern living. Large windows throughout capture morning sunrises over the lake and afternoon light reflecting off the backyard pool. A gracious foyer anchors the original entry and opens to an elegant dining room and a beautiful living room with a focal fireplace. Just beyond is a sun-filled sitting room or office wrapped in windows—an inviting place to work or unwind. The main living area centers around an oversized kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, a spacious island, and a bright breakfast room. The adjacent 650 sq. ft. family room features a ten-foot ceiling and offers an easy, comfortable space for everyday living. A second powder room and a well-designed mudroom help keep everything organized. As you move upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat with fireplace, spa-inspired bath, and a skylit walk-in closet. All family bedrooms are generous in size: one enjoys its own timeless en-suite bath while the other two share a large common room—ideal as a hangout or homework space—and a beautifully updated bathroom with a double vanity. The third floor includes one bedroom, office, and full bath creating the perfect setup for a teenager, guests, or anyone wanting extra privacy. The basement offers a great recreation room with multiple seating areas, a handsome wine room, and exceptional storage along with space for an additional laundry area. Outdoors, the home is designed for easy entertainment with manicured grounds, multiple patios, and a beautiful pool. One bay of the three-car garage could even be transformed into a fantastic pool house. All of this is just a short walk to the beach; parks; the revitalized Plaza Del Lago with Starbucks; shops; restaurants; as well as the award-winning school - Joseph Sears (JK-8) and New Trier.

Chicago’s luxury property market has changed dramatically within the past decade – growing from a small, self-contained specialty, served by a handful of brokers, to a vast and highly competitive marketplace requiring an ever-increasing level of sophistication and reach.
Today, what drives success in the luxury market is not only a skilled and accomplished corps of agents, but also a comprehensive marketing strategy to brand individual listings and reach a relatively diverse audience.
That is why we offer the @Luxury Collection, a sales and marketing program that leverages @properties’ unmatched resources and relationships to meet the needs of Chicago’s luxury property owners. From new-construction in Lincoln Park to landmark mansions in the North Shore, from vintage high-rises along Lake Shore Drive to the newest generation of super-luxury towers, @properties has successfully marketed and sold hundreds of millions of dollars in high-end Chicago real estate.
