Adorable and Affordable: 903 Willow Road, Winnetka

My best buy for this week is 903 Willow Road in Winnetka. It’s an adorable vintage Dutch Colonial style home with 9 rooms, 3 bedrooms and 2.1 baths.

It’s priced at $599,000 and here’s why it’s such a great value:

• Lots of space in the house, the yard and the garage: It has good-sized rooms. Plus there’s a large screened in porch which expands the living area. There’s lots of living space and storage in the finished lower level. The yard is larger than comparably priced homes at 50′ x 187′ . And there’s a 4 car garage, part of which could be converted into an office or studio.

• It retains its vintage feel, but is updated where it counts (kitchen and bathrooms) and the updates are in keeping with the character of the house. The floors have been refinished, central air has been added and the windows were replaced within the last ten years.

• It is very conveniently located. You can walk to town and trains as well as to Crow Island School.

The downside?  If there is a downside to this house it is that it is on Willow Road, which does have a fair amount of traffic during morning and afternoon rush hours. But if you’re used to living in the city, this might not bother you.

See the virtual tour of this house here. If you’d like to see it in person, just let me know. I’d be happy to show it to you.
