Description

A lovely East Wilmette stucco home cherished by the same owners for more than fifty years will be available to a new owner very soon. This East Wilmette home is situated on a 50 by 196 lot. This home is beautifully situated in East Wilmette. Only a few block to the purple line and a half mile to Gillson Park, with it's Lake Michigan Beach. Well within a mile offers access to Metra in Evanston or Wilmette, golf at The Evans at Canal Shores (newly renovated), or a plethora of shopping and dining options on Central St. in Evanston or downtown Wilmette. The yard is anything but traditional. View the garden in front yard from a spacious front porch, shade gardens adorn both front and back yards, with tons of eye-catching ground cover and flowers. The fully fenced backyard has a gorgeous two-tier cedar deck (rebuilt in 2023) overlooking artwork and a small manmade brook flowing through three gentle waterfalls into a peaceful pond. A traditional foyer circa 1915 offers a choice of entering the living room or the second level. Hardwood flooring throughout the main level. Both the stairway and second floor have carpet-covered hardwood. The living and dining rooms feature whitewashed pecky cypress paneled accent walls. The living room fireplace has been converted to gas for convenience. Dining spaces include a breakfast nook and formal dining room with original built-ins. A modest, white kitchen was updated in 2006. Finishing out the first floor is an office with full bathroom and sliding glass door accessing the back deck. The carpeted second floor is laid out to accommodate four bedrooms and two full baths. The ensuite primary has a spatially efficient bathroom with shower. The primary bedroom also boasts a private sundeck. The second level full bath was tastefully renovated in 2008. The unfinished basement is about two-thirds of the home's footprint and had a dark room and currently still sports a pool table and of course, plenty of storage. Improvements over the decades are too numerous to list. This wonderful home is ready for a new chapter. Whether new owners find it ideal for their needs as presented, or have grand visions to transform it, this beauty will be available for showings late in the day September 20th through the afternoon of September 22nd. No early showings, no exceptions. The home is offered "As-Is".

    "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."
