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. Spacious his and hers closets and a washer/dryer all within the primary suite. There are three additional nice-sized bedrooms, one features an en-suite bathroom with heated floors and the others share a recently updated hallway bathroom with skylight and heated floors. 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. Lower level is complete with the fifth bedroom with custom millwork and a luxurious and moody full bathroom with dual rain shower and custom oak vanity. Custom window treatments and designer lighting throughout. The convenient mudroom area with recently added mudroom lockers lead to a fenced-in-rear yard with landscaping by Chalet and a 2-car detached garage. An A+ home and location with many block parties, happy hours, and holiday events (Holiday sleigh ride) and close to Lake Michigan, Gillson Beach, shops, restaurants and schools. This home is for the most discerning buyer!
