About this home
Set on a rare 88 x 185 lot in Wilmette's coveted CAGE neighborhood, this extraordinary 2022 residence reimagines classic architecture through a modern lens. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a statement. A gracious front porch with a hanging daybed welcomes you, framed by meticulously designed landscaping. The bluestone walkway remains clear on winter days, radiantly heated beneath your feet. Inside, the home unfolds with bespoke millwork, designer lighting, and a level of finish that is immediately apparent. This is an exceptional custom home designed and built by Sterling Wilson Design & Development, and refined luxury shows in every detail. From the hand-selected Chicago reclaimed brick to the carefully curated materials including Heath Ceramics tile, marble, and quartzite, the home feels thoughtful, cohesive, and beautifully executed. The kitchen is a showpiece, anchored by a striking quartzite island and outfitted with custom cabinetry and a full suite of Sub-Zero appliances. This includes a coffee system designed to create the perfect start to your morning. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a true retreat with heated marble floors and spa-like finishes. Each of the additional bedrooms and baths reflects the same level of care, with thoughtful details throughout, including custom drying racks in the second-floor laundry room. The lower level is designed as a true extension of the home, featuring radiant heated floors, a gym, sixth bedroom, and a custom bar with Sub-Zero refrigeration. The theater room, with sound-paneled walls, delivers a cinematic experience that feels both immersive and inviting. But what truly sets this home apart is how it lives outdoors. A four-season screened porch with fireplace and integrated ceiling heaters extends the home magnificently across seasons. Outside, the grounds unfold into a private retreat designed by premier landscape architects, Mariani Landscape. A custom in-ground swim spa offers the flexibility of both exercise and relaxation, while bluestone patios, an outdoor fireplace, and a built-in pizza oven create multiple spaces for gathering and connection. This is a home designed not just to be seen but to be experienced. Homes of this caliber - where architecture, lot size, and execution align - are rarely available in Wilmette. 610 Forest Avenue is the home that stands apart....
