Description

Discover an exceptional residence ideally positioned in East Wilmette-steps from Canal Shores Golf Course, Sheridan Shores Yacht Club, and a short stroll to Gillson Beach and Park on an oversized private lot. Enjoy easy access to the most unbeatable views of the Ba'Hai Temple, too! Step inside to a gracious foyer adorned with custom millwork. A functional "split layout" with a large formal living room on the right. You'll find a quiet retreat from the hustle of the home with a wall of windows in 3 directions, and an oversized fireplace providing the ambience needed for nights by the fire with a book or glass of wine. Left of the center entrance, you'll find the hub of the house-a dedicated dining room which sets the stage for entertaining, while a chef's kitchen-complete with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances flow seamlessly into a spacious and sun-filled family room. A perfect layout for someone who loves to entertain! The views are one-of-a-kind! Three sets of French doors span the south wall spilling out to an outdoor retreat. This rare offering of privacy and play space is unmatched! Enjoy the custom-built bluestone clad grilling station, the cozy custom firepit area and still have plenty of space for playsets, ball games and fetch! Inside and upstairs, you'll find an expansive primary suite with a deep walk-in closet and a luxurious marble bathroom featuring double sinks, an oversized walk-in shower, a separate water closet, and lots of storage. Two additional generously-sized bedrooms share a sunny, south-facing tandem bonus room ideal for play or homework. An updated hall bath with double vanities and tub/shower combo wrap up the 2nd level. The newly renovated third floor is an apartment in the sky with vaulted ceilings, skylights, bedroom space and sitting room plus a lovely full bathroom. It offers versatile flex space as a teen, au-pair or in-law suite. The finished basement provides an additional getaway with room for working out and hanging out. A large unfinished laundry area could add additional living space. With its unbeatable location - especially for 4th of July Fireworks - this home truly has it all. It's a rare find that seamlessly blends luxury, serenity, functionality, convenience and access to recreation.
