About This Home

Welcome home to this East Wilmette architecturally stunning home located 3 blocks to Lake Michigan, Gillson Park, Michigan Shores Club and Wilmette Harbor. Situated in Wilmette's Historical District on a lush 50' x 190' lot, this home exudes a contemporary style of arts & crafts. Upon entering you'll find a heated year-round sunroom that spans the width of the home with its newer windows you're sure to delight in gathering in this room. Seven sets of Jeldwen wood French doors, quarter-sawn oak floors, cove lighting, beamed ceilings and an original full masonry brick corbeled fireplace flanked by oak benches are just several of the first-floor features. Somewhat of an open-floor plan...the living, dining and family room all gracefully flow to the owner/architect designed kitchen filled with an entire wall of casement windows allowing the outside in. The kitchen includes a vaulted ceiling, upscale appliances, dual sinks, granite counters, terra-cotta floors and French doors that lead out to the deck and large naturally landscaped backyard and a terrific 3 car garage with charging port. Just down the hall from the kitchen is a powder room, small desk area and several closets. The second floor has a newer primary suite with full bath and is surrounded by windows giving you treetop views and a sunny southern exposure. This room also has 2 sets of French doors leading to the 2nd floor deck and a sweet private balcony, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee that overlooks the peaceful backyard. Three additional bedrooms (one ensuite with fireplace and half-bath) and the full hall bath with dual sinks complete the 2nd floor. Enjoy this home "as is" or explore the many possibilities that await you to make this home truly yours today!
