Welcome to 757 Locust, a stunning 6-bedroom, 4.2-bath home set on a 15,000-square-foot lot in the heart of Hubbard Woods. Built in 1920 and thoughtfully updated over the years, this exceptional residence blends timeless architecture with modern comfort, exuding character, warmth, and charm at every turn. Large, gracious rooms, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows create a sense of light and space throughout. A bluestone walkway welcomes you to the front entry, where a gracious foyer opens to an oversized living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and sophisticated space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The well-proportioned dining room flows seamlessly between the living room and kitchen, making gatherings effortless. The kitchen features newer appliances and opens to a sun-filled breakfast room where two walls of windows open wide, beautifully blurring the line between indoors and out. Just off the kitchen, the family room is perfectly positioned, complete with built-ins and a second fireplace, and opens to a deck and patio overlooking the large backyard. A well-placed mudroom connects directly to the deck and backyard. Upstairs, the generous primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a beautifully appointed bath with dual vanity, heated floors, marble throughout, and a walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms, one with an en-suite bath, and a hall bath complete the second floor. The third floor (by Paul Konstant) offers a sixth bedroom, a full bath, and a charming hangout space with treetop views of Locust Street. The lower level provides space for play and abundant storage. For true peace of mind, this home has been extensively and thoughtfully updated. Recent improvements include two new AC condensers (2026), a new AC air handler (2026), an EV charging port (2025), a new composite synthetic cedar roof (2024), fresh exterior paint (2024), replaced water service (2023), new sump pumps (2023), a combined boiler/hot water heater installed by American Vintage Home, and numerous other updates throughout. The heated, attached, oversized garage adds everyday convenience year-round. A truly special opportunity to own a timeless Winnetka home just moments from Lake Michigan, the Hubbard Woods and Elm Street shopping districts, parks, beaches, schools, and the train. North Shore living at its finest.
