Winnetka Lakefront, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates


Today's home sits on Lake Michigan in the posh Chicago suburb of Winnetka. What most endears this house to me is the fact that it truly seems designed for four-season living. The six-bedroom home is just steps to the beach and also has a large terrace for catching the summer sun. There is also an indoor pool for winter that has a fireplace in the same room. The home has large windows that face the lake and a modern style that looks fresh and not chilly. There are seven fireplaces, a wine cellar, media room and a master bedroom with a sitting room. It is listed at $7.85 million.
