Overview

Remarkable home situated on a desirable, tree-lined street in East Wilmette. Every corner of this 5 bedroom, 4.1 bathroom home has been impeccably updated with a blend of traditional details and modern renovations to meet today's buyer lifestyle. The first floor features a welcoming & sun drenched foyer with incredible flow throughout, a nicely scaled living room and dining room, an eat-in Chef's kitchen with walk-in pantry, an inviting family room with built-in bookshelves, a mantle and a gas fireplace, a stunning powder room, as well as a rear-entry mudroom with lockers. The architectural details in both the living room and dining room are spectacular with an elevated finishing touch - coffered ceilings in the living room and tray ceiling in the gorgeous dining room - and large windows for plenty of sunlight- all ideal for entertaining! Wonderful kitchen with Taj Mahal quartzite, island and breakfast bar stools as well as a built-in banquette, and a separate built-in bar with beverage refrigerator - adjacent to the family room - a natural gathering spot for family. The second floor features a primary suite with an exceptional bathroom with two vanities, heated floors,a soaking tub, a separate all glass steam shower and water closet.

Stairs to third floor lead to a private deck for enjoying tree-top views, plumbing for a hot tub, and additional storage. The lower level was taken down to the studs for a full scale renovation in 2021. It's a must-see! Too many details to list - highlights include a custom wet-bar with rift sawn oak, Subzero drawers (freezer and refrigerator), marble backsplash, hammered brass sink, large floating shelves, custom tile with heated floor, stunning custom built-in media center with built-in speakers, custom large wine cellar with wine barrel flooring and ceiling.
