Property Description
Located in coveted Northwest Evanston, 2448 Lincolnwood Drive is a timeless, Tudor-style masterpiece that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern sophistication. Approaching the hand-carved flagstone pathway, framed by lush landscaping, one is immediately transported into a storybook setting where old-world craftsmanship meets today's elegance. The home's 1929 half-timbered, brick and stucco exterior has been restored and matched during renovations along with improved cedar-shingled roof, copper roofing and gutters, meticulously showcasing a reverence for its architectural heritage. Step inside, and you'll immediately sense the thoughtful design where every detail tells a story of craftsmanship and intention. - The two phases of reimagining this property include a 2002 complete renovation of the original structure's interiors and a 2009 addition which further enhanced the livability and function of the space. This is a home that comforts and welcomes and is designed to host and entertain on any scale. With the assistance of Steve Rugo Architects and Tom Stringer Design Partners, the creative homeowners brought themselves into the design through adding elements like eighteen century wood beams from Virginia and Tennessee, brick butler's pantry flooring and wide ebony baseboards. There are four fireplaces in the home - something of upmost importance to the homeowners for creating warmth. - The heart of the home, the kitchen and keeping room, are designed for both intimate family moments and grand entertaining. A fourteen-foot walnut slab island anchors the space, inviting guests to gather while culinary creations come to life. The well-equipped kitchen includes Wolf electric double ovens, five-burner gas cooktop, two warming drawers, Subzero 36" refrigerator and two produce drawers. Additionally, two Miele dishwashers, Scotsman ice maker, wine and beverage coolers round out the complete suite of appliances one would expect in the finest of homes. - The primary suite is an exquisite sanctuary. Anchored by an inviting fireplace and warmed by the rich texture of eighteen century wood beams, this space is a masterful blend of history and comfort. Passing through to the dressing room, you will find built-in drawers, custom pullouts, ample hanging space, shoe storage and valet bars - perfection! Continuing through to the primary bathroom (actually, two bathrooms in one!) you will find opposing mahogany vanities, separated by individual water closets and a double walk-in shower with multiple sprays and plumbing fixtures by Rohl. A large soaking tub by Victoria & Albert and hand-cut limestone radiant heated flooring makes this room a hard one to leave. - While there are so many more details to share regarding the interiors, the exterior landscape design by Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects and the spaces to enjoy the precious warmer months must be mentioned. The family room, with a wall of windows and doors, sits below a treehouse like screened porch and opens to a flagstone-paved terrace stepping down into the lushly and naturally designed back gardens. Dining, grilling space and a fire pit area are what you first will see, but on those special occasions, the two-car heated garage opens on three sides to create an entertainment pavilion, and of course the homes audio system extends to this space as well. The professionally maintained gardens are equipped with irrigation, lighting and electrical connections for easy use and care. - Designed for those who appreciate both timeless elegance and modern luxury, this residence is more than a home - it's a masterpiece waiting to be experienced. A complete list of design, construction and home mechanical and automation elements will be provided during your private tour of the home.
