About this home
Set on one of East Wilmette's most coveted CAGE streets, this gracious home offers the rare combination of timeless character, beautiful scale, and an idyllic walk to town, train, and beach location. Sun filled rooms, wide doorways, leaded glass, hardwood floors, and a wonderful sense of flow give the home both warmth and presence, while the layout lives beautifully for everyday life and entertaining alike. The main level offers generous living and dining spaces, a spacious family room, and a gorgeous kitchen that truly centers the home, complete with stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a massive island that creates a natural gathering place and instantly draws everyone in. Upstairs, the second floor features three spacious bedrooms, including a standout primary suite with a stunning bath and an extraordinary walk in closet that feels more like a luxe dressing room than a typical closet. The third floor adds two more bedrooms and exceptional flexibility for guests, offices, play, or exercise, with one currently used as a gym. The finished lower level provides even more room to relax, hang out, or spread out, with excellent additional living space. A screened porch, fenced yard, and detached two car garage add to the appeal. All of this in the heart of the CAGE, just a short walk from downtown Wilmette, the Metra, the lakefront, and Plaza del Lago....
