An "ultimate kitchen" in Winnetka

Posted 1/27/2010 by Joe Zekas

Last Sunday I stopped by 322 Chestnut to visit Coldwell Banker’s Linda Martin, who was hosting the first public open house at the home, which is listed for sale at $3.695M after a significant price cut.

I’d previously been in the home, which was built by developer Michael Hughes, but thought I’d have some fun with Linda over the home’s recent award from Unique Homes in the magazine’s Ultimate Kitchen Contest..

The pretense: the kitchen might be “ultimate” by the standards of the typical North Shore buyer but wouldn’t meet my mythical Uncle Johnny’s minimal standards – no kegger, no hooks to hang and skin a deer, and so on. I sprung this on Linda, and she was quick on her feet with her responses.

Two other Hughes-built homes are also currently for sale in Winnetka, at 339 Linden St, ($3.299M) and 446 Linden St ($1.599M).
