Description

Location, Location, Location. This 6 bedroom 3.2 bath, East Wilmette, FULLY RENOVATED home is located just a few blocks from Central School, Saints JFS School, 3 nursery schools, downtown Wilmette, both the Evanston and Central Metra stations (.5 miles), the CTA Linden Stop (.6 miles), the Green Bay Trail and Lake Michigan. The stunning first floor of this home boasts an open floor plan which artfully marries old and new architecture with original wood floors and lozenge windows juxtaposed against contemporary luxury finishes. The large chef's kitchen with an Italian Bertazzoni stove and a 12 foot porcelain island with seating for 8 is the heart of the home. The adjacent, ultra cool scullery kitchen is a showstopper equipped with glass bar shelving, 2nd dishwasher, prep sink and wine refrigerator - an entertainer's dream. Relax in the living room with a glass of wine gazing at a fire or watching your favorite show across from the dramatic floor to ceiling, gas fireplace with a custom television-built in. Enjoy the morning light in the dining room with three large picture windows and a 10 ft ceiling overlooking the front yard and the charming bricked streets of East Wilmette. Later in the day, enjoy the afternoon light in the keeping room which walks out to a large custom-fabricated deck overlooking a fenced-in backyard designed by Natures Perspective. The 8-zone sprinkler system (operated from your cell phone) and vegetable garden complete the picture. The second floor features an ensuite primary bedroom with french doors to a balcony perfect for morning coffee, a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a luxurious finished bathroom with marble counter tops, double sinks and heated floors. There are 3 additional bathrooms on the second floor and a nicely sized full bath with heated floors. Escape to the third floor retreat and enjoy the treetop views from 2 additional bedrooms (plus full bath) each with skylights great for additional sunlight and stargazing. On the finished lower level you will find a family room, office, 1/2 bath, and a utility room with a dedicated exercise and laundry area plus ample storage.

    "Great. All back roads to NU. never have to get on the free way. Only mild back UPS on Greenbay avenue during rush hour. There are lots of schools along the way which can slow you down due to buses and speed zones but that is the least of my worries "

    "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. "

    "I used to live in this community years ago and loved every day. There are two malls within walking distance. A couple of bus lines that can take you the the downtown train. 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."
