Property Description
This beautifully updated mid-century contemporary home, located in the highly sought-after New Trier School District, was fully renovated and expanded in 2012. A thoughtfully designed top-level addition created a stunning primary suite retreat with a spa-inspired bath. The home features hardwood floors throughout, with carpet and tile in the lower-level family room. The main level offers nine-foot ceilings and an inviting eat-in kitchen with quartz countertops, cherry cabinetry with pullout shelves, and a convenient pass-through to the living room. The L-shaped living and dining area provides an open, airy feel, highlighted by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and double doors leading to the patio and expansive backyard-perfect for entertaining. Just a few steps down, the generous family room offers an ideal space for movies, games, and everyday living, along with a half bath, and a well-equipped laundry room with abundant cabinetry and folding counter. The second floor includes one bedroom with an en suite bath and a cedar-lined closet, two additional bedrooms, and a full hall bath. The top level is dedicated to the primary suite, featuring tall ceilings, a luxurious bath with jetted tub, dual vanities, separate shower, and custom cherry cabinetry. This level also includes a fifth bedroom-ideal as a nursery-and a dedicated home office that can easily function as a dressing room or walk-in closet. With no load-bearing walls on the top floor, the space offers flexibility to create an expansive primary suite. Additional highlights include a large attic with pull-down stairs, flip-out windows for easy cleaning, brick and hardy board exterior, new copper water service line, all copper plumbing, new sewer line, and dual HVAC systems for comfort and efficiency. Situated at the end of a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac, the home backs directly to Romona Elementary and is just minutes from Wilmette Junior High, offering the rare convenience of walking to school without crossing a busy street for grades K through 8. Nearby amenities include Highcrest School, Community Playfields, the Wilmette Recreation Center, Centennial Aquatic Center, tennis courts, and an ice rink, along with easy access to the Edens Expressway, Edens Plaza, Old Orchard shopping, and downtown Wilmette dining and shops. A detached two-car garage with additional storage and a spacious driveway completes this move-in ready home.
