Winnetka Heights Craftsman Homes Are Going Quick

Good deals in Winnetka Heights are going fast. Case in point? This charmer on Windomere Avenue has a contingent offer after only five days!

Shirley Cohn with Allie Beth Allman & Associates reveals, “We received multiple offers on this house — 35 showings in two days! Buyers love this fun neighborhood. The buyers looking are young couples and single people. It is under $500,000 which is hard to find, and totally updated.”

There are few things we love more than getting scoop on historic architecture brought back to life, so we had our eye on this one from the start. The stunning Craftsman cottage was remodeled by famed Dallas builder-designer Cathy Koonsman, who Cohn says, “is one of the best remodelers in town and everybody loves her work and design. As soon as you say ‘Cathy Koonsman’, the buyers run to see it and want it.”

We’re pretty confident that this week’s Friday Four Hundred is one you can’t afford to miss! Let’s take a peek around.

Winnetka Heights Charmer Wows With Contemporary Design

First off, it’s apparent this two-bedroom, two-full-bathroom Craftsman has seen a lot of love. It was built in 1925 after all. And thanks to caring owners, it offers a lovingly restored interior. We adore that it blends classic Craftsman details with modern conveniences and luxury looks. 

Shirley tells us, “When the agents would walk into this home, they would get on the phone and call their clients. I love selling homes and especially amazing fun homes like this. We have offers over asking price because of Cathy’s amazing work and my clients have an eye for style, too.”

A Vaulted Living, Designer Kitchen, And Smart Space Solutions Add To The Appeal

There is a wide and welcoming front porch, a darling dining nook with exposed brick and built-ins, plus a vaulted living room with a walls of windows looking to the outdoors. However, it’s the gourmet kitchen that turns heads. 

It has stainless steel appliances, a stunning quartz waterfall island, and an intricate tile backsplash for a touch of style. The calming gray cabinetry adds to the appeal, as does the easy open flow into the living space. Gorgeous hardwoods, new lighting, and an abundance of smart space solutions help to maximize every inch of the 1,273-square-foot home.  

Timeless Quality With High-End Looks And Historic Charm

And the master has seen a facelift too! It offers a generous spa-like bath with sleek counters, ample storage, and a fabulous glass shower. The look is both high-end and timeless, while retaining the home’s unique character and charm.

Private Outdoor Entertaining Just In Time For Spring

Outside, it’s all about entertaining. There is an inviting stone patio, large grassy fenced yard for hosting a crowd, plus a fire pit sitting area, and one-car detached garage.

It’s no wonder this Winnetka Heights beauty was scooped up so quick!
