Indulge in luxurious living with this impeccably maintained newer construction home nestled in coveted East Wilmette. Offering a prime in-town location, this 5+ bedroom, 5.1 bath residence is a testament to sophistication and convenience, spread across four levels of meticulously designed space. Step through the inviting foyer adorned with custom woodwork and soaring ceilings, setting the stage for the refined interiors that lie beyond. The beautifully updated gourmet kitchen, with top-of-the-line appliances including a brand new Wolf Dual Fuel 48" range, beckons with its fine cabinetry, expansive island, and custom light fixtures -- a haven for culinary enthusiasts and entertainers alike. The sun-filled family room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and four French doors leading to a generously proportioned patio and fully fenced backyard, seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living.

The charming living room (or music room), gorgeous home office with a second wood-burning fireplace and custom cabinetry plus updated powder room complete the first floor. On the second floor, retreat to the primary suite, a sanctuary boasting a spa-like bath, superior walk-in closet, and decorative fireplace-a true haven of relaxation. Three additional bedrooms, one en-suite, a hallway bath and a well-appointed laundry room ensure comfort and convenience for family and guests. Ascend to the third floor to discover a versatile fifth bedroom with a full bath, offering flexibility for guests or private office space. Meanwhile, the lower level impresses with high ceilings, a custom dry bar, a family/media room with exceptional built-ins, a large exercise room, a 6th bedroom, full bath and enormous storage room.

With downtown Wilmette just blocks away, this exceptional residence offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience.
