About This Home

Much-admired and stately, this handsome East Wilmette home blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Set on a sun-drenched, oversized 65'x185' corner lot, this residence offers exceptional living spaces inside and out. Step onto the inviting front porch and into the gracious vestibule, leading to a grand foyer-the heart of the first floor. A stunning sunroom, perfect as a home office or sitting room, is bathed in natural light. The 2016 updated kitchen features white cabinetry, a gorgeous quartzite island, and high-end appliances. A cozy breakfast room with a gas fireplace and picturesque window views makes mealtime a delight. The architecturally spectacular family room spans the back of the home, showcasing beautiful built-ins and a woodburning fireplace and will be where everyone wants to gather. The formal living and dining rooms flow seamlessly, creating an ideal circular first floor plan. The expansive dining room comfortably seats 12+, while the living room offers two seating areas and a gas fireplace. Added in 2012, the much-loved screened-in porch extends the living space for nearly half the year, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. The second floor features four generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, including the spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and the home's fourth fireplace. The third floor offers a fifth bedroom and a third full bath, providing additional flexible space. The beautifully finished basement is a true retreat, boasting a huge rec room, workout area, laundry room, ample storage, and a spectacular 1900 bottle wine room. Professionally landscaped with gorgeous hardscape patios, this home is ideally located near Central School, town, Metra, and Gillson Beach. A forever home in a premier location-don't miss this rare opportunity!
