About this home

Rare opportunity to own an exquisitely updated and centrally positioned traditional residence, ideally situated between the vibrant downtown of Wilmette and Evanston's prestigious Central Street corridor. Meticulously renovated, this residence seamlessly integrates timeless elegance with contemporary functionality, providing a sanctuary for those who appreciate the perfect fusion of historic charm and modern comforts. Spanning three levels, this five-bedroom, three and a half bath home radiates sophistication. Gleaming hardwood floors grace each room, complemented by an abundance of natural light that bathes the space, creating an inviting and airy ambiance. A rear expansion in 2017 enhanced the kitchen, primary suite, and introduced a secondary rec room in the basement. The gourmet kitchen stands as a culinary haven, boasting custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, a spacious island for four, and ample room for a generous kitchen table. Elegant formal living and dining rooms offer additional entertainment options, while the warm and inviting family room completes the first-floor picture. Ascend the graceful original staircase to the second level, where the primary bedroom has undergone a complete transformation. The ensuite bathroom is a well-appointed retreat with double vanities, walk-in shower, soaking tub, and a substantial walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms on this level share a beautifully appointed hallway bathroom. Venture to the third floor to discover two additional rooms, one currently utilized as a bedroom and the other as an office, both serviced by another full bathroom. The basement, accessible through the kitchen and mudroom, unveils a playroom and laundry area. A few more steps down lead to a fabulous, dug-out rec room with space for relaxation and workout equipment. The fully fenced backyard boasts a patio, expansive yard space, and a detached 2-car garage accessible from the alley. This East Wilmette gem encapsulates the essence of an effortless lakeside lifestyle, making it a truly exceptional residence.
