Rent or buy a Winnetka lakefront home

Veteran real estate agents on the North Shore tell me they can’t recall seeing as many lakefront homes for sale as are currently on the market.

The 6-bedroom, 6 full, 2 half-bath lakefront retreat at 1203 Whitebridge Hill Rd in Winnetka is offered for sale at $7,250,000 or – and this is unusual – for rent at $20,000 per month. The home has an indoor pool for the days when Lake Michigan is too icy.

The property is listed with Coldwell Banker’s Blanche Romey. You can see a floor plan of the home, with larger photos and a birds-eye view, here.
