This 1900s-era, English manor-style home at 701 Sheridan Road in Winnetka is on one lakefront acre that is part of a larger tract once owned by Winnetka’s founder, John Garland. Recently updated and renovated, the 15-room home has elegant formal rooms that flow into newer, more casual living areas, as well as sweeping views of Lake Michigan from most rooms. The house first was listed in 2001 for $7.2 million and later was reduced to $6.7 million. Its seller, who works in portfolio management, had further lowered the listing price to $5.75 million by the time of its sale. BY THE NUMBERS: Six bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, four fireplaces and a three-car garage.
