Property Description
Coming Soon! Available for the first time in over 60 years, 2304 Elmwood Avenue presents a rare opportunity to renovate, reimagine or expand a home with remarkable architectural roots. Originally designed by successors to Daniel Burnham and the firm behind some of Chicago's most iconic landmarks, built for the heirs of two notable Chicago families, the home retains many original details and was constructed with a level of quality that would be difficult to replicate today. Situated on an oversized lot nestled between Kenilworth Gardens & Indian Hill Estates. Ideal for those looking to thoughtfully renovate or pursue a larger scale vision (lot size: 70x136 / 0.22 acres). Owned by just two families since its construction and exceptionally maintained, this is a unique offering to acquire a property with architectural significance, substantial land & endless potential. This is your chance to create something truly special in one of Wilmette's most desirable neighborhoods and the Harper School District! Estate sale, being sold as-is.
