This Colorful Craftsman In Winnetka Heights Gets A Gold Star

The absolute sweetest little slice of perfection just hit the market on Thursday. It’s in Winnetka Heights, no stranger to sweetness with the magnificient tree-lined streets, wraparound porches, and throwback nostalgic feel.

But this one is EXTRA. It’s owned by an art director and a home inspector. On the exterior the couple redid the landscaping, and it’s lush and low maintenance. The design choices inside are so perfect and charming and lovely and, oh yeah, this just turned into a bit of a gush fest.

Inside, they recently completed a major bathroom remodel and wait till you see the vanity. It has to be reclaimed and it’s so special. Love the tile choices too. A little pop of something different mixed with crisp white penny and subway tile.

There’s an emerald green dining room and a brilliant blue bedroom, a pop of pink in the secondary bathroom and that gorgeous green tile in the primary. All the color choices are on point and of course they are, because art director. The secondary bathroom has a clawfoot tub with set of shower curtains that give you casual, cozy, vintage vibes.

That’s something you get a lot of in this Craftsman. Modern touches that mix with the original charm and character.

In the kitchen the cabinetry maintains the 1945 feel, but with a flat, modern front. The backsplash is simple, but creates a space where you just feel like making a Bundt cake.

Built-ins are all up in this one. The ones you’d expect, alongside the fireplace, and also ones that are little more unexpected like in the closet, a set of drawers and custom storage system.

Out back there’s a pergola with open slates that carves out a play space and easy outdoor living. It’s a retreat back there. An oasis that balances the urban feeling out front.

This is the kind of house that won’t last because there’s just no way it can. If you don’t fall in love with the photos, I feel like I don’t even know who you are anymore. Want to see more? Head here or give Compass’ Emily Ruth Cannon a call. She legit loves this house as much as I do. She has 426 S. Winnetka Avenue listed at $426,500.
