Description

Built in 1926, 1101 Chestnut remains a vestige of the historic grand estates of Wilmette. Then in 2019, notable architect Chip Hackley completed a masterful gut renovation where no expense was spared & no detail was overlooked. Built like a masonry/slate fortress & coupled with the luxury renovation, you're left with the BEST of both worlds! Located on Wilmette's most coveted street, you're an easy walk to downtown Wilmette, Plaza de lago & the beach. The 100' wide corner lot creates fantastic street presence with magnificent gardens that welcome you in. Exquisite bespoke finishes, the finest materials and expert craftsmanship are evident throughout the 7,000 square foot residence. The versatile circular floor plan allows you to set up the first floor in several different configurations based on what works best for you & your family- changing anytime with simple furniture placement. The first floor office is a show stopper with heated marble herringbone floors, pocket doors, custom cabinetry & built-in desks with walnut countertops. The kitchen is timeless perfection equipped with custom cabinets, 2.5" thick quartzite countertops & Wolf, Subzero & Miele appliances. The magazine worthy mudroom leads directly to the RARE attached, heated, 3 car garage. The architecturally significant parts of the home were masterfully restored or replicated such as all new solid interior doors that were custom made to match the originals. The second floor features 4 bedrooms, 3 gorgeous bathrooms & one of the two laundry rooms. The Primary suite is a dream with a spa-like waterworks bathroom equipped with heated floors (in the shower as well), seamless glass shower door & soaking tub. Completed with dual walk-in closets and a wall of windows with treetop views. The third level has an additional bedroom & bathroom. The basement was dug out to give the space 8 foot ceilings in the two rec room areas, along with heated porcelain floors. The extra deep, fully fenced in backyard features manicured gardens, mature privacy trees, multiple patio areas, built in fire pit & a raised vegetable garden. Additional note worthy 2019 upgrades & features include $500k of landscaping perfection, 55 new Marvin windows, restored original slate roof and replacement all four flat roofs, copper gutters and copper roof on garbage area, new hardscape including limestone patios and driveway, whole house generator, new HVAC/plumbing/electric, 7 zones for the radiant heating, upgraded to 400amp, whole home water filtration system & SO much more! Don't miss this singular opportunity to own this special home in the heart of the CAGE. Truly the best of the best!
