About This Home

Nestled on one of the most coveted streets in Wilmette's sought-after Kenilworth Gardens neighborhood, this lovingly maintained home is ready for its next chapter. Cherished by the same owners for many years, this classic residence offers an exceptional opportunity to move right in, renovate over time, or create your dream home in an unbeatable location. Set on an extra-deep lot (50 x 177), the home features a gracious living room, formal dining room, and an open kitchen and family room that overlooks the spacious deck and beautifully landscaped backyard-an ideal setting for everyday living, entertaining, and outdoor enjoyment. The second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private ensuite bath, along with a well-appointed hall bathroom serving the additional bedrooms. A finished basement provides valuable additional living space with a recreation room, laundry area, and abundant storage. The sellers have made important investments, including a Permaseal waterproofing system, providing added confidence for the lower level. While the home has been exceptionally well cared for, it also presents tremendous potential for a buyer to update, expand, or customize to their own style.Located just steps from Harper Elementary School, Thornwood Park, the Kenilworth Metra station, this is a rare opportunity to own a home in one of Wilmette's most desirable neighborhoods. Available for a quick closing and ready for its next owners to make it their own.
