Property Description

Ideally located just blocks from vibrant downtown Wilmette, the Metra, and beautiful Gillson Park, this handsome and inviting home offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and everyday functionality. A classic front porch welcomes you into a gracious vestibule and entry foyer. The expansive formal living room is filled with natural light, anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround, and flows seamlessly into a sun-drenched sunroom-perfect for reading or relaxing. The generously sized formal dining room sits at the heart of the home, ideal for entertaining and holiday gatherings. A stylish butler's pantry with custom built-ins leads into the bright and airy kitchen, which boasts ample counter space, abundant cabinetry, and room for casual dining. Open to a spacious family room overlooking the deep backyard, this kitchen-family room combo is ideal for modern living. The circular floor plan adds a sense of ease and flow, with the front staircase accessible directly from the kitchen. Upstairs, a versatile room at the top of the stairs offers endless possibilities-ideal as a home office, sitting room, or homework station. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, abundant closet space, and an en-suite bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the second floor. A charming third-floor retreat includes a fifth bedroom and access to the unique balcony room with views over the primary suite. The finished basement adds more functional space with a rec room, laundry area, and potential for a half bath. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard oasis with a raised deck-perfect for summer entertaining. A detached two-car garage and additional parking pad for two more cars complete the picture. This exceptional home offers the best of Wilmette living-walkable to shops, restaurants, the train, and the lake. Don't miss your chance to enjoy summer just blocks from the beach in a home that has it all!
