Description
Totally charming vintage home in East Wilmette that will steal your heart! Ideal location allows you to walk to downtown Wilmette, the Metra train, the Linden purple line train, schools, parks, and the beach! The welcoming front porch will greet you and usher you inside, where you'll immediately notice the bright and cheery natural light that floods the home from the newer windows throughout. Bursting with character, this home has a perfect circular flow, allowing for ease of movement for today's active household. You're guided from the foyer to the spacious living room with gas-log fireplace, beautiful crown molding, and a bay of windows filled with southern light. Continue through the formal dining room with architecturally-detailed ceiling, into the bright family room with 3 walls of windows overlooking the lush backyard. Walking past a convenient half bath, you'll find the updated kitchen with white cabinetry, granite counters/backsplash, SS appliances, and breakfast bar. Off of the kitchen is a mudroom area which leads to the fully-fenced backyard with gorgeous landscaping featuring peony, hydrangea, and lilac bushes, underground sprinkler system, and a lovely brick paver patio with gas grill hookup, perfect for hosting outdoor gatherings! The 2nd floor of the home has 4 bedrooms, one of which has a sunny tandem room, and an updated full bath. The newly renovated 3rd floor is epic! Ideal for a home office space, play room, teenager hang-out area... the possibilities are endless. The finished basement features a large rec room with gym area, laundry room, and lots of storage. A 2.5 car garage with a semi-private driveway with extra parking off the alley completes the package. Move-in ready in East Wilmette - what's not to love?
