Property Description
Great home on sought-after Washington Avenue in east Wilmette-an exceptional opportunity to create your forever home. A gracious living room with a beautiful bay window overlooks the charming, tree-lined street, while a separate office with pocket doors offers flexibility and features its own bay window, perfect for working from home in style. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining, and the kitchen opens to both a spacious family room and a large eat-in area, creating a warm, inviting hub for everyday living and gatherings alike. From here, enjoy easy access to the backyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The second floor offers five bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a full bath and walk-in closet, along with four additional (and well sized) bedrooms and two hall baths. Convenient second-floor laundry adds to the home's thoughtful functionality. The full basement provides even more living space with a large recreation room, full bath, and ample storage/workroom. Above the two car garage, a charming one-room coach house with a full bath and partial kitchenette offers wonderful flexibility-ideal for guests, an au pair, or a private office retreat. Set on a wide lot, with private fenced yard, this home is part of a vibrant, close-knit block known for its festive Halloween celebrations, block parties, and even sleigh rides in the winter. Just steps to schools, the beach, the train, and the village center, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully scaled home with timeless character, ready to suit your vision. New roof and water heater (2026).
