Property Description
Quintessential East Wilmette home in the CAGE neighborhood! From the inviting screened front porch to the spacious deck in back, this home offers charm, warmth, and wonderful spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The welcoming living room features a beautiful mantle and large windows overlooking the tree-lined street, and flows seamlessly into the bright dining room. The dining room has charming built-ins, a coffered ceiling and stained glass window. French doors lead to a thoughtfully designed mudroom. With built-in storage, the mudroom keeps everything organized and opens into a sun-filled family room featuring a wall of windows and custom cabinetry. (The current owners enjoy this flexible space as a breakfast room.) The family room connects to the white kitchen, complete with double ovens, a six-burner Wolf cooktop, beautiful cabinetry, and a breakfast bar, creating a natural gathering space for family and friends. Upstairs, the second floor offers a spacious primary suite overlooking the lovely backyard, with a serene bath featuring a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms, including one with a charming window seat, and a hall bath complete this level. The third floor is a large, sunny, open room perfect for a home office, playroom, or additional bedroom space. The finished basement provides even more living space with a recreation room with built-in shelving, a large laundry room, exercise room, and a full bath. Additional highlights include hardwood floors throughout and all windows replaced. Outside, the deck, pergola, built-in fire pit, and beautifully landscaped yard create the perfect setting for summer evenings. Two car detached garage, plus additional large parking pad - would also make a great sport coForever-home vibes in the heart of East Wilmette, just a short walk to the beach, schools, the train, and the shops and restaurants of Plaza del Lago and the village.
