Absolutely stunning gut rehab of this East Wilmette beauty. The grace of the original Victorian farmhouse converges with contemporary style, charm and design to create the perfect mix of everything today's buyer is searching for. The current sellers received the 2013 award for Historical Restoration from the Wilmette Community Development Department for their restoration of the original home. Fantastic curb appeal with the addition of a new front porch with Trex decking reminiscent of the original home's porch. Stylish foyer welcomes you into the living room with the original marble fireplace updated with gas line. Fabulous chef's kitchen (because the owner was a chef!) with huge butcher block island, soap stone & marble counters, high-end appliances, tons of practical storage and huge table space. This fab kitchen overlooks the beautiful expansive fenced backyard with new blue stone patio. Generous formal dining room with outstanding wallpaper is perfect for entertaining. Spacious family room with great natural light opens to the kitchen, living room and the dining room. Separate bonus room is perfect as office, play space, art room, etc. Super cute powder room & fantastic mudroom with great built-ins & large closet complete the first level.
