Property Description
A truly exceptional 2019 construction in the heart of East Wilmette! This stunning home is rich with refined craftsmanship and thoughtful design at every turn. Each room showcases exquisite details including wainscoting and double crown moldings, stunning hardwood floors and plantation shutters throughout. Ten-foot ceilings elevate the first floor, beginning with a grand foyer that opens to an elegant living room and a private office featuring custom cabinetry and full data/wifi wiring. The dining room impresses with a striking coffered ceiling and flows seamlessly into an incredible butler's pantry complete with abundant custom cabinetry (upper glass fronts), dual quartz countertops, a beverage refrigerator, and sink, plus an additional walk-in pantry for effortless entertaining. Open to the kitchen, the family room is both warm and sophisticated, centered around a gas fireplace framed by custom built-ins. French doors lead to a raised stone terrace, with privacy fence, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. And the kitchen? Simply spectacular. Designed for both beauty and function, it features a show-stopping quartz island seating six, two dishwashers, a farmhouse stainless steel sink, a 60" Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a 48" Wolf six-burner double oven range. A sun-filled breakfast room and an impeccably organized mudroom complete the first floor. Upstairs, gracious 9' ceilings enhance the serene second floor. The luxurious primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with radiant heated floors, steam shower, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms are bright, roomy and all ensuite. The third floor features a bedroom, bonus room, and full bath, accented by charming window seats. Would make a fabulous second office, hang out room or craft center! The lower level expands the living space with a massive recreation room, two additional bedrooms, a designer full bath, exercise room, and a wet bar, plenty of space to host guests! The yard is large and professionally landscaped. All of this just steps from downtown Wilmette, schools, Metra, and the lake.
