Steeped in history and thoughtfully expanded for modern living, this charming Wilmette home offers the perfect blend of character, space, and convenience. Originally built in 1928 by a local mason for his daughter and son-in-law, the home has been lovingly maintained by the current owner for over 40 years. A substantial addition completed in 1989 transformed the home, adding a second story and creating the spacious kitchen and family room that serve as the heart of the home today. The main level features a large living room with soaring cathedral ceilings, a formal dining room, a first-floor bedroom, and a full bath. Original architectural details remain throughout, including a charming vintage "phone room" and an original bathroom with classic pink and black tile. The oversized kitchen offers abundant storage, leathered countertops, space for a dining table, and a brand-new refrigerator. Open to the family room, it creates an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors lead to the deck, backyard, and delightful three-season room. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary suite complete with an en suite bath and an enormous walk-in closet, along with two large additional bedrooms, a hall bath, and the convenience of second-floor laundry. Ideally located in the highly sought-after New Trier High School and Romona Elementary School district, this home offers easy access to both Wilmette and Glenview amenities. Commuters will appreciate the convenient access to major expressways, while shopping, dining, and recreation are all just minutes away, including Old Orchard Mall.
