Property Description
***Best and final offers are due Tuesday at 10 AM*** Step into this bright, stylish tri-level home and feel like you've been transported to 1960s California. Designed by renowned Mid-Century Modern architect and builder Milton Schwartz, this 6-bedroom, 3.1-bath residence is tucked away on a quiet Wilmette cul-de-sac and is full of warmth, natural light, and architectural charm. The home's unusual use of materials-gorgeous stone, brick, and wood inside and out-sets the tone for a striking yet welcoming experience. The family room is a true standout with its soaring vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling walls of windows that frame the lush front and back yards, and a step-down area centered around a dramatic, full-height stone fireplace-the heart of the home and a signature element of Schwartz's design. It's the kind of space that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Just off the family room, the completely reimagined kitchen (2018) is a showstopper, blending function and design with extraordinary/striking light fixtures, high-end Thermador appliances, custom two-toned cabinetry, quartz countertops, oversized island, dual prep sinks, banquet seating, a built-in bar with Vinotemp, and ample storage. A mud room is adjacent to the kitchen. The main bedroom is its own retreat, with custom closets, a designer built-in dresser, and more to love. Every bedroom is generously sized, offering plenty of space to unwind, work, or make your own. Outside, enjoy the newly constructed back oasis featuring a modern patio with moon lighting, lush professional landscaping, a private gazebo with a hot tub and cold plunge, a Trex front side porch, dog run, newer fencing and two Bluestone patios-all designed for effortless outdoor living and entertaining. Situated perfectly between all of Wilmette's top-rated schools and parks, including New Trier and Loyola Academy, Romona School, Community Playfield, Centennial Park, Wilmette Community Center, Gilson Beach, Skokie Lagoons, Gilson Dog Park, and the North Branch Trail System. Extensive updates include all-new electrical and copper plumbing (2013), sewer and city water main replacements (2014-2023), new sump and backup pumps, heater, Hardie Board siding (2021-2022), and beautifully updated flooring, lighting, and finishes throughout. The roof features a newer added layer, new skylights, complete with new gutters, copper downspouts, and an ice melt mitigation system (2017). Additional 2013 improvements include a fully finished basement, updated top-level bathrooms, new toilets, and custom closets throughout. This home offers both inspired design and everyday comfort in one of Wilmette's most desirable neighborhoods. As described by architecture writer and photographer Lee Bey, Schwartz's work is "a knockout by one of the unsung geniuses of Chicago modernism." If you dream of owning a true mid century time capsule, this is your rare opportunity.
