About this home
Great natural light, loads of space and super quiet inside! Set on a beautifully landscaped 1/4 acre lot in Wilmette, this 4-bedroom, 3.2 bath home is warm, livable, and full of character, featuring generous room sizes, thoughtful built-ins, and a layout with great flow and distinct living areas. There are spaces for gathering, spaces for quiet, and plenty of room for both. Inside, the serene formal living room greets you with tons of natural light, cushioned bay-window seating with underseat storage, and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves. Through the living room is the gorgeous kitchen, both spacious and functional, with black granite countertops and natural stone backsplash, abundant wood cabinetry, separate island with a veggie sink and breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and an eat-in breakfast nook for casual dining. Off the kitchen, a formal dining room with plenty of space for holiday entertaining. Glass panel pocket doors flow into the family room, which creates an open layout, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and built-in desk. Double French doors open off the family room to a screened-in porch, extending the living space through three seasons. A powder room rounds out the first level. The 2nd floor features four bedrooms and three full baths. The primary suite offers soaring 11' vaulted ceilings and opens to a huge south-facing deck overlooking the backyard. A roomy walk-in closet with adjacent stackable washer and dryer is the ultimate convenience, while the spa-like en-suite bath features radiant heated floors, a steam shower with built-in bench, and a separate Jacuzzi tub. The remaining three bedrooms each have their own personality: one with its own en-suite bath, another is lined with built-in cabinets and bookshelves, and the fourth bedroom has a separate sunlit reading nook. The game room is a separately accessed bonus space, sitting above the garage and accessed from inside the home, currently set up for billiards and ready to welcome your home office, workout room, or bonus lounge space. The partially finished basement with radiant heated floors offers room for movie nights plus plenty of additional storage, a 2nd powder room and 2nd laundry area with a full-size, side-by-side washer and dryer. Outside, a side yard with brick pavers and a built-in stone grill is set up for warm weather cooking, and a treehouse that needs nothing but imagination. The larger, full backyard provides perennial gardens and lush areas to play and relax. Rare attached and heated two-car garage is just one more thing to love about this home. Incredible location in the heart of it all: walk to McKenzie School, the Metra, downtown Wilmette shops and restaurants!...
