Move-in ready! This handsome brick Georgian on a quarter-acre lot in a quiet Wilmette cul-de-sac has been wonderfully updated and well cared for. The home features solid masonry construction, new mechanicals, expertly refinished hardwood floors, and an open circular floor plan. A spacious two-car garage and multiple 2nd-floor decks encourage indoor-outdoor living. The front entry has a quaint porch that leads to a graceful corridor with French doors to the rear yard. The casually elegant living room with a stately fireplace is airy and filled with light. A perfectly sized dining room is both functional and stylish with an original built-in cabinet, updated molding, and stylish decor. The custom chef's kitchen, with white cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances, opens to the patio for active family living and effortless hosting. The first floor also includes a cozy family room with large windows on three sides and a chic powder room. On the second floor, an expansive deck at the top of the stairs pours light throughout. A spacious primary bedroom and two comfortably sized bedrooms are nicely situated along the upstairs hall, along with two additional closets. The bedrooms are bright and cheerful with custom closets and plantation shutters. The updated basement includes an extensive wall of closets and a generous recreation room, which could easily double as a 4th bedroom or office. A door near the bottom of the stairs separates the recreation room from a substantial laundry room that houses the mechanicals and additional utility storage. The professionally designed landscape makes the house shine. Mature plantings frame the front and rear sides of the house. A beautiful bluestone patio sits out of the afternoon sun, where the open lawn and lush gardens are most enjoyable. A dedicated gas line for grilling and an attached, built-in shed make the outdoor space functional and lend it to easy entertaining. The house is within walking and/or biking distance to the award-winning Romona school district, Highcrest Middle School, and Wilmette Junior High. There is a perfect balance of comfort and accessibility. Move in and enjoy this home's delightful features!
