Property Description
This sun-filled home offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two half baths, an exceptionally large third bedroom that can easily be divided to create a fourth bedroom plus flexible space on the main level for guests. Perfectly positioned on a prime lot adjacent to Wheeler Park, enjoy open views, ample natural light, and the convenience of having recreation, play space, and community right outside your door. The home welcomes you with a charming, secluded front porch complete with a porch swing for those warm summer nights. Inside, the bright living room features built-ins, a decorative fireplace, and beautiful natural light. A flexible office, family room, or guest bedroom overlooks the park. The spacious, open kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample storage and counter space, offering views of both the park and the backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining or family room with a patio door leading to the back deck. The back deck includes built-in seating and a connected gas grill-perfect for entertaining. A convenient half bath completes the main level. On the second level, the large primary suite features a walk-in closet and a bright ensuite bath with separate shower and soaking tub. The additional bedrooms are generously sized with the third bedroom large enough to be easily split into two or used as an oversized shared bedroom . A full hall bath completes the second level. A large skylight above the staircase brings even more light into this already sun-drenched home. The basement includes a half bath, a spacious recreation room-large enough to accommodate a workout area-with above-grade windows providing lots of natural light, along with a laundry room, wine room, and plenty of storage. An oversized two-car garage provides additional space, along with an extra parking spot for guests. With the north side of the home lining the park, the house enjoys the natural light and open feel of a corner lot-without the extra maintenance. Truly walkable to everything: the park at your doorstep, grocery stores, train, library, and downtown Wilmette just minutes away.
