Description

From the moment you see this beautiful newly constructed custom home it’s easy to see how it stands out from the rest! A stately paver-lined driveway leads up to this impressive residence with attractive turret, dormered windows and an all brick and stone exterior giving everyone the first glimpse of quality construction and superb design. And there are four fully finished levels combining to over 6000 square feet of interior living space! Ideally located in Wilmette, this beauty enjoys being in one of Chicagoland’s most prominent and prestigious suburbs situated along Lake Michigan’s North Shore. This established community exudes a small town feel with its quaint downtown, historic homes and age-old trees yet boasts big town amenities including park services with beachfront activities including sailing and one of the most acclaimed and admired school systems in the nation. An attractive mahogany and leaded front door with matching sidelights welcomes guests to enter the gracious foyer. The impressive turned staircase leads up to all three levels including a second floor gallery landing with Juliet wrought iron balcony overlooking the entryway. Both the living and formal dining rooms have exquisite moldings; the dining room has a pretty bayed wall filled with oversized windows creating a lovely ambiance for dinnertime gatherings. Cooks will love the gourmet kitchen! Hand-rubbed cherry furniture-styled cabinetry abounds with thick crown moldings accompanied by marble backsplash and granite counters throughout. Top professional stainless steel appliances include: Thermador gas range, built-in exhaust system, Thermador built-in convection oven and warming drawer, Thermador 42” side-by-side refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher and Thermador built-in microwave. There is a large center island and the beautifully bayed eating area opens completely to the lovely family room. Windows are everywhere in the sun-filled family room and offer wonderful views of the lush backyard. Friends and family will love to gather around the inviting wood burning fireplace with gorgeous limestone surround and glass doors open to the kidney shaped brick patio. Four generously proportioned bedrooms are located on the second level all with private baths. The master suite has an ultra-luxurious bath filled with natural stones, glazed cabinetry, jacuzzi and separate shower. A fifth bedroom with full bath is located on the third level of this magnificent home. Not to be missed is the enormous second level bonus room. What a wonderful place to play, exercise or have sleepovers! Dramatic dormered windows are throughout and there are vaulted ceilings to making it easy to have the necessary height for the elliptical or stair climber! The lower level is fully finished for more fun and play. There is a cherry entertainment center with glass display cabinets as well as a 6th bedroom and full bath. An office with stunning coffered ceilings is conveniently located on the main level as well as a large mud/laundry room leading to an attached three car garage. Beautiful hardwood flooring and recessed lighting are throughout the entire home. Every ceiling has been individually custom designed and there are gracefully curved archways throughout. Professional landscaping includes mature trees, perennial gardens and an underground sprinkling system. Fabulous design, quality construction, large square footage and terrific location all add up to making this exceptional home one of the finest offerings on the North Shore!

    "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."
