About this Property
Several blocks from the lake and the ever-popular Gillson Park, this stunningly and lovingly renovated home is right out of a design magazine. It is situated on an enormous one-third acre lot (75’ x 196’) on a quiet East Wilmette Street. This gorgeous and professionally decorated home boasts an expansive front yard and a room-sized front porch that would be any homeowner’s delight. Pride of ownership shows as this home combines every modern amenity one could desire with all the charm and character that only an older home can offer.
Upon entering the home, one immediately notices the rich, architectural details – gorgeous hardwood floors, a large, open foyer with a graceful staircase, abundant windows, deep moldings, bay windows and more.
The gracious Living Room, immediately off the foyer, has an elegant fireplace and lovely bay windows. This room flows into the entertainment-sized Dining Room with its built-in upper and lower cabinets and granite serving area, as well as a wall of windows which flood the room with natural light.
Overlooking the beautifully manicured rear lawn, gardens and wrap-around deck is the open Family Room/Kitchen area which is like no other. A vaulted, bead board ceiling, graceful columns, exposed brick, walls of windows and an inviting fireplace make this an incredible space. The gourmet cook’s kitchen is breathtaking and includes cherry cabinets, granite counters and top of the line stainless steel appliances, as well as a fabulous center island. The adjacent eating area can easily accommodate 12 or more people. Perfect for large or small gatherings, this is the Family Room no one will want to leave.
The first floor also offers a convenient and always-popular master suite. Its adjacent full bath boasts beautiful, high-end tile work. Completing the first floor is a handsome office with built-in, custom cherry bookshelves and custom three-paneled French glass doors, and a powder room with yet more gorgeous tile work.
The second floor of this masterfully designed home includes three family bedrooms, a full bath, and an alternative master suite with its own full bath.
A dramatic, light filled loft space graces the third level. It’s the perfect yoga studio, art studio, play space or bedroom. For whatever use, it is the perfect retreat.
The lower level sports a huge recreation room and bar, an office/bedroom suite with its own full bath and plenty of storage and work space.
Beautifully appointed from top to bottom and located in one of the North Shore’s most popular and renowned neighborhoods, this gracious home is truly one of the finest offerings today.
