Property Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Winnetka's most iconic and historically significant residences. Set on approximately one acre along a private lane in the heart of Hubbard Woods, this landmark Georgian Colonial Revival estate was originally home to the daughter of Mr. Hubbard and occupies one of the neighborhood's original homesites. Backing directly to the ravines and overlooking protected natural vistas, the property offers unparalleled privacy, breathtaking beauty, and a setting unlike any other on the North Shore. The lush grounds are highlighted by a spectacular 50 year old perennial garden, creating a serene backdrop for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining, while the expansive courtyard driveway with its signature brick inlay establishes an unforgettable sense of arrival. The estate is further distinguished by one of Winnetka's few remaining 150-year-old American Elm trees, a remarkable living landmark that anchors the property's storied landscape. Just one block from Lake Michigan and less than half a mile from Tower Road Beach, the location offers effortless access to downtown Hubbard Woods, the Metra, acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, and everyday conveniences. The residence presents a masterfully executed floor plan that honors the home's rich architectural heritage while embracing the demands of modern living. Original crown molding, original hardwood flooring throughout, gracious 10-foot ceilings, and timeless architectural details create a sense of enduring elegance throughout. Thoughtfully reimagined for today's lifestyle, the expansive open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, a rare and highly sought-after feature in a home of this pedigree. The recently renovated kitchen is appointed with quartzite countertops, limestone flooring, stainless steel appliances, and elevated designer finishes. Radiant heated floors extend throughout both the kitchen and adjoining family room, offering exceptional comfort and functionality. A formal living room, elegant library, gracious dining room, spacious family room, and two private first-floor offices provide an ideal balance of sophistication and livability. Five fireplaces enrich the home's most distinguished spaces, including the living room, dining room, library, primary suite, and a guest bedroom. Among the home's most captivating spaces is the grand screened porch, a true outdoor living room framed by soaring floor-to-ceiling white columns and opening to sweeping views of the private grounds and picturesque ravine landscape beyond. Offering seven bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths, the upper levels are equally impressive. Beautiful marble bathrooms, two ensuite retreats, and laundry rooms on both the first and second floors provide exceptional convenience. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a stunning all-marble bath with radiant heated floors. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved and renovated through the years, the home features a complete cedar roof replacement in 2019, full restoration of all exterior porch and ornamental woodwork in 2021, brand new hot water heaters in 2026, and a professionally installed waterproofing and drain tile system in the basement. The unfinished lower level offers abundant storage and outstanding potential for future customization. A three car garage and expansive brick-inlaid motor court accommodate up to seven additional vehicles, further enhancing the home's exceptional functionality. Rich in history, architecturally significant, and impeccably maintained, 930 Fisher Lane represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the North Shore's most cherished legacy estates, a remarkable offering where history, privacy, and timeless elegance converge.
