224 Sheridan Road

About this home

Perfectly located on soughtafter Sheridan Road in the heart of Kenilworth, this stately redbrick colonial sits quietly behind a circular drive and landscaped gardens, offering wonderful privacy on nearly a halfacre. Originally built in 1918, the home has been extensively renovated to blend timeless character with the comfort and functionality of modern living. Large windows throughout capture morning sunrises over the lake and afternoon light reflecting off the backyard pool. A gracious foyer anchors the original entry and opens to an elegant dining room and a beautiful living room with a focal fireplace. Just beyond is a sunfilled sitting room or office wrapped in windows-an inviting place to work or unwind. The main living area centers around an oversized kitchen with custom cabinetry, highend appliances, a spacious island, and a bright breakfast room. The adjacent 650 sq. ft. family room features a 10foot ceiling and offers an easy, comfortable space for everyday living. A second powder room and a welldesigned mudroom help keep everything organized. As you move upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat with fireplace, spainspired bath, and a skylit walkin closet. All family bedrooms are generous in size: one enjoys its own timeless ensuite bath, while the other two share a large common room-ideal as a hangout or homework space-and a beautifully updated bathroom with a double vanity. The third floor includes a bedroom, office, and full bath, creating the perfect setup for a teenager, guests, or anyone wanting extra privacy. The basement offers a great recreation room with multiple seating areas, a handsome wine room, and exceptional storage, along with space for an additional laundry area. Outdoors, the home is designed for easy entertainment with manicured grounds, multiple patios, and a beautiful pool. One bay of the threecar garage could even be transformed into a fantastic pool house. All of this is just a short walk to the beach, parks, the revitalized Plaza Del Lago with Starbucks, shops, and restaurants, as well as the awardwinning school - Joseph Sears (JK-8) and New Trier.
