About This Home

Location extraordinaire! Perfectly situated on one of East Wilmette's most coveted, tree-lined cobblestone streets, just steps from Lake Michigan, Plaza Del Lago, schools, parks, and the Metra, this timeless brick Georgian offers the best of both worlds: historic character and modern luxury. Thoughtfully reimagined in a 2013 gut renovation by Morgante Wilson Architects and recently decorated by the designer/owner (2023), this classic has been completely transformed with meticulous attention to detail, leaving nothing to do but move right in. Behind its iconic 1925 facade, approximately 5,900 square feet of beautifully finished living space awaits. The sunny gracious first floor is designed for everyday comfort and elegant entertaining, featuring a formal foyer, oversized living room, gorgeous dining room, sun-filled family room with walls of windows, and a chef's kitchen straight from the pages of a design magazine--complete with Wolf, SubZero, and Bosch appliances, leathered granite counters, custom cabinetry, and a vaulted breakfast room addition. A mudroom with custom cabinets and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true serene retreat with two walk-in closets and a spa oasis featuring radiant-heated floors, a soaking tub, and a wonderful shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms, a large hall bath, and abundant storage round out the second floor. The third floor tree top haven provides two more bedrooms (or office space) and another full bath--ideal for guests, teens, or work-from-home needs. The finished lower level is a dream, offering multiple recreation areas, an optional bedroom or office, full bath, and laundry, with a dug-out area boasting high ceilings and windows full of natural light. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard with bluestone patio and irrigation system offers the perfect space for play, gathering or quiet relaxation. A 2-car garage, Marvin windows, whole-house generator, 200+ AMP electrical, Buderus boiler, and smart wiring for sound and internet are just a few of the many upgrades that make this home as functional as it is beautiful. A rare opportunity in the best location the CAGE offers to enjoy timeless architecture, a perfect location, and move-in-ready luxury - 830 Chestnut truly offers the best of East Wilmette.
