Property Description

A rare offering in the heart of Wilmette, this timeless Prairie-style residence blends architectural character, gracious scale, and thoughtful modern updates just moments from downtown, the train, parks, beaches, and award-winning schools. Set behind a welcoming front porch that feels lifted from a storybook, the home unfolds with beautifully proportioned living spaces layered in warmth and craftsmanship, from rich hardwood flooring and coffered ceilings to leaded glass windows, extensive millwork, and curated designer details throughout. The elegant living room is anchored by a striking gas fireplace flanked by built-ins, while the formal dining room delivers classic sophistication with a crystal chandelier and refined architectural detailing. At the heart of the home, the expansive kitchen was thoughtfully renovated and designed for both effortless daily living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, premium appliances, an oversized island with prep sink and seating, pantry storage, planning desk, and seamless flow into a sun-drenched breakfast room with vaulted ceilings and skylights.

The second level hosts a serene primary suite complete with organized walk-in closet and a bath featuring Grohe fixtures, skylight, dual vanities, and private shower suite, alongside three additional generously sized bedrooms with hardwood flooring, bay windows, and abundant closet space. The third floor provides exceptional flexibility with two additional bedrooms and full bath ideal for guest suites, offices, creative studios, fitness spaces, or private retreats. A finished lower level expands the home's livability with recreation space, full bath, laundry, and extensive storage. Significant improvements and infrastructure updates provide tremendous peace of mind, including extensive renovations and addition completed in 1999, updated energy-efficient windows, dual-zoned HVAC with SpacePak system, whole-house generator, sprinkler system, updated electrical, newer garage with loft storage and additional parking on concrete pad, updated landscaping, fenced yard, brick patio and walkways, and multiple mechanical improvements throughout.
