Welcome to your new home in the heart of lovely East Wilmette, where a spacious, true front porch beckons you to unwind and enjoy the charm of this inviting home. As you step inside, the seamless blend of vintage allure and modern comfort unfolds before you, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The living room is anchored by a beautifully rebuilt brick fireplace surround and mantle, flanked by built-in shelves that add a touch of character and functionality. In the dining room, elegant molding sets the stage for intimate family dinners and larger gatherings, the perfect backdrop for daily living. You will find hardwood floors throughout. A thoughtful addition 23 years ago transformed this home, introducing a custom kitchen that is a culinary dream, complete with custom cabinetry, all stainless appliances, a pantry closet, a separate work space/coffee bar and tremendous eat-in space. The kitchen seamlessly opens to the cozy family room, offering a bright and inviting space that leads to the deck, paver patio, and lush yard - a perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment. Upstairs, the primary suite awaits, boasting a sunny sitting room that could easily serve as a nursery or office, complementing the large sleeping area. The suite is crowned by a wonderful walk-in closet and a full bath, offering a private retreat within the home. Two additional sizable bedrooms and a large hall bath provide ample space for the whole family, with one bedroom leading to a serene third floor that could be a tranquil yoga space or a delightful playroom for kids. The basement with fresh epoxy flooring offers the potential for a fantastic hang-out space, with generous ceiling height inviting endless possibilities for customization. The home has seen numerous upgrades, including 200 amp electrical service, dual zoned central air and AC, blown-in insulation, and more - ensuring modern convenience without compromising its vintage charm. Outside, a newer two-car garage adds to the home's appeal, while a new water heater and fresh paint throughout ensure that the home is ready for its next chapter. Located just blocks from the thriving downtown Wilmette, Central Street shopping and dining in Evanston, as well as the park, beach and schools, this home offers the perfect blend of convenience and community. Close to both the Evanston Metra train, the Wilmette Metra train and the el. Enjoy 114 5th Street, where charm meets modern convenience, with the best of East Wilmette at your doorstep.

    "I have lived on and off in Wilmette for 30+ years. Grew up here. Eventually moved back here to raise my own family. Its one of the safest places in the country. The schools are excellent. The parks are beautiful, clean and have updated equipment. The Park District, With all that it has to offer for kids and adults, is incredible. The people are actively involved throughout the neighborhood. There are a few new dining and nightlife venues that are helping to make Wilmette all inclusive. Access to a great pool facility and one of the best beaches on the North shore just make it for this area. I highly recommend Wilmette to any young couple getting started, to anyone wanting to raise a family and to those looking to finish out their lives filled with quiet beauty in a safe place."

    "Have lived here for 10 years. The schools are superb and the people are like people anywhere. Some are nice and some are snotty but you can ignore them. Its great for the things that matter. Traffic getting into Chicago is usually bad but the Metra train is great."

    "Walking distance to everything - CTA, Metra, Parks, Beach, shopping in Wilmette and Evanston Central St. area. And a short drive to Sheridan Road/LSD and i-94.Phenomenal for families of all ages with nationally recognized and award winning schools. A fantastic and safe neighborhood and a hidden gem that borders Evanston. If there's a house that's within your budget range, make an offer - you will not be disappointed. "

Excellent expressway access going both north or south. The Park district is right across the street with an amazing Gym, child care and much, much more. LOVE Wilmette, and this area of it."
