Description

Combining timeless architecture, a thoughtful renovation, and an unbeatable East Wilmette location just steps to the beach, this is truly the home you have been waiting for. Perfectly positioned on an exceptional .3-acre corner lot in sought-after East Wilmette, this beautifully renovated and expanded residence seamlessly blends classic design with thoughtful, high-end updates throughout. A gracious entry vestibule opens to a welcoming foyer that anchors the home and sets the tone for the refined yet comfortable living spaces. The expansive kitchen and family room create the heart of the home-expertly designed with custom built-ins to define each space while maintaining an open, connected feel ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is truly special, where carefully curated details-from top-of-the-line appliances including SubZero, Thermador, and Miele to a one-of-a-kind custom tile backsplash by a local Evanston artist-bring warmth, character, and a subtle connection to the outdoors. A thoughtfully redesigned mudroom, laundry room, and additional powder room-created from the original attached garage-keep daily living organized and out of sight. A butler's pantry with wet bar leads to the formal dining room, while the living room showcases beautiful custom millwork and a fireplace that serves as a stunning focal point. Just beyond, the fully rebuilt screened porch offers the perfect spot to unwind and creates a seamless extension of the home. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with dual closets and a well-appointed bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms share a large hall bath with a double vanity. The fully reimagined lower level-dug out to accommodate eight-foot ceilings-offers incredible additional living space with radiant heated floors, a bedroom, full bath, recreation area, and abundant storage. No detail has been overlooked outside, where extensive hardscape and landscape improvements create multiple inviting outdoor living areas, including a custom outdoor kitchen, pergola, firepit, and beautifully designed patios and walkways-all enhanced by updated landscape lighting. All of this in an unbeatable location just moments from the beach, Wilmette's vibrant downtown, the Metra, and the El-offering the very best of North Shore living.
