Description

Timeless charm meets thoughtful updates in this beautifully maintained East Wilmette home, nestled just blocks from Lake Michigan, Gillson Park, and vibrant Downtown Wilmette. Situated within the award-winning District 39 and New Trier High School boundaries, this 5-bedroom residence offers an unbeatable combination of location, comfort, and flow. With fantastic natural light and a seamless layout, the first floor connects inviting, well-proportioned rooms that are perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. From the moment you step into the inviting foyer, classic architectural details like crown molding, custom wainscoting, and hardwood floors set the tone for this welcoming home. Oversized windows fill the sunroom with natural light and breezes-creating a comfortable space to relax or entertain across seasons. The living room, anchored by a fireplace and picture windows, flows directly into the dining room-ideal for casual meals or formal gatherings. The kitchen has been refreshed with brand-new countertops, backsplash, hardware, and lighting (2024-25), and features Bosch appliances, a Jenn-Air cooktop with new burner assemblies (2023), and an adjacent breakfast area. Just off the kitchen, a light-filled family room with French doors leading to the backyard is well-suited for movie nights and entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, including a tranquil primary suite with a renovated en-suite bath featuring a marble-topped Palmer console, Kohler fixtures, and marble tile (2021). The second full bathroom was also fully remodeled in 2021 with cohesive, timeless finishes. A second-floor laundry area-complete with newer LG washer and dryer (2019)-adds everyday convenience. The finished third-floor attic offers even more flexibility, with space for a home office, playroom, or a sixth bedroom-perfect for evolving household needs or overnight guests. The finished lower level includes a recreation room and a fifth bedroom with its own full en-suite bath-offering a private space for guests, a home office, or extended living. Outside, the fully fenced yard is a gardener's dream, with professionally designed perennial beds, mature trees, and fresh landscaping throughout the front and side yards (2024). The newly repaired and repainted deck (2023-24) offers a peaceful spot to dine outdoors or enjoy the shade of the lush yard. Additional updates include a tear-off roof and gutters (2020), high-efficiency Mon-Ray storm/screen windows (2021), SpacePak central air conditioning (2019), and a brand-new boiler (2025). With thoughtful upgrades, architectural detail, and an unbeatable East Wilmette location, 730 9th Street offers a rare opportunity to enjoy one of the North Shore's most desirable neighborhoods.

    "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."
