About this home
This spacious custom ranch, with over 1700 sq ft, is ready to just move-in! The home has a gracious layout, but affords many options for today's lifestyles. Enter from the brick paver driveway to a gracious foyer with twin closets and newly refinished hardwood floors throughout. Step-down to the living room with bay window, which has a wood burning, gas starter fireplace at one end, and the perfect space for a formal dining area at the other. With this setup, the "dining room" can easily be a family room/den/study where it adjoins the kitchen. The kitchen has wood cabinets with stainless appliances (newer cooktop, microwave and refrigerator) and a sweet counter that wraps around - perfect for early coffee and planning the day. There is a garden window too for favorite plants. Two large bedrooms, with ample closets and a full and half bath. At the rear of the house is a step-down heated sunroom with three full walls of patio doors and an entrance to the lovely perennial filled back yard. The huge basement is perfect for storage, or to create additional living space if desired. Two car garage. Close to the Eden's, 4 schools, shopping, and a brief ride to downtown Wilmette and the Lake! This is no ordinary ranch.
