Did Santa bring everything on your Christmas list? There is one thing more we are adding to ours… this delightful 1920s Tudor nestled within nearly one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, Illinois. Decorated by the illustrious Ruthie Sommers, this magical English manor-style estate is one The Glam Pad’s favorite homes of all time. In fact, we have been dreaming about it for nearly a decade when it was featured in Town & Country magazine! Today we are thrilled to tour this enchanted estate, decorated in full holiday cheer, as it is currently listed with Christie’s @properties. Come experience fairytale living as the story magically unfolds around every corner!
Located one of Winnetka’s most cherished private lanes by renowned Jazz Age architect Russell S. Walcott, this 8,025 square-foot masterpiece includes a newly renovated de Giulio custom kitchen and an exquisite exterior revamp complemented with charming Chinese Chippendale-style gates, entertaining terraced patios, and a boutique hotel-level pool within the secluded yard.

Step inside to pure majestic beauty that could never be replicated today!
Gather guests in the gracious living room with glazed apricot walls anchored by the antique mahogany fireplace with limestone surround and French doors leading out to the south lawn and cutting garden.

Cozy up in the Great Room paneled in antique pine from England… We also couldn’t help but admire the hand-needlepointed stockings hung by the chimney with care!


The formal dining room boasts hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper with hand-painted turquoise Chinese fretwork moldings applied over antique mirroring adding dramatic sparkle.

Enjoy after-dinner cocktails in the red lacquered lounge that beautifully defines this unparalleled entertaining space.

A newly refreshed kitchen beautifully lifts the entire first floor to a new level of curated beauty. Outfitted with Gucci-inspired bamboo handles, custom hand-painted Delft-style tiles, antique mirrored cabinet fronts and whimsical pendant lighting, the kitchen is perfectly in keeping with the house’s design yet modernized with every possible convenience: heated floor, three sinks, thick mitered Quartz countertops, built-in desk, and all new deluxe stainless steel appliances: Wolf 6-burner range, 2 Miele dishwashers & Sub-Zero refrigerator.
Newly lacquered summer green Butler’s Pantry energizes this walk-through space leading to the most magnificent solarium breakfast room overlooking the lush & manicured backyard oasis.

We spy more needlepoint… Such a darling way to display handmade needlepoint ornaments!

Enter into the formal foyer outfitted with hand-painted hardwood floors, meticulous hard-carved millwork, and grass cloth wall coverings.

An expansive private primary wing has it all: his and hers dressing rooms, two separate baths, and a sitting room/office create a perfect oasis for luxury living.


There are three large additional bedrooms with full laundry on the second floor. Also, the complete third floor includes a sun-drenched work out room overlooking lush grounds, charming custom playroom with stage and curtain, two additional bedrooms and two full bath. There is also a lower room which includes wine cellar and ample storage.

Property tax is $43k a year, 5 percent income tax, plus sales tax is highest in USA. The affluent are moving outta these high tax states. That’s why the price is low ish. Hard pass for me. I think this posted to market the house.
