About This Home

Welcome to 836 Chestnut Avenue in the CAGE, located on one of East Wilmette's charming cobblestone streets, just moments away from Langdon Beach and Lake Michigan, as well as the newly renovated Plaza Del Lago, schools, parks, and the Metra. This all-brick home seamlessly blends classic old-world charm with modern luxury. Upon entering, you are greeted by a beautiful center staircase leading to a grand living room featuring a stunning fireplace and opening to a sunlit inviting sitting room. The spacious dining room connects to the elegant white De Giulio kitchen with a delightful breakfast area that flows into the step-down family room. French doors open to the patio and professionally landscaped backyard. The first floor also boasts a convenient mudroom area, two office nooks, and a guest bath. Ascending the staircase, the second floor reveals a luxurious primary bedroom with a newly renovated stunning bathroom, complete with a standalone tub, walk-in shower, and double sink vanity. A generous walk-in closet and a bright, spacious laundry room enhance the comfort of this level. Two additional well-appointed bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor. The third floor offers versatile space with two large bedrooms, one of which can serve as an office or hang out space, along with a full bath. The lower level is finished with a fantastic rec room, an exercise room, ample storage, and a second laundry area. A 2-car garage adds to the convenience of this exceptional property.
