About this home
East Wilmette farmhouse jewel w/ 4 beds, 3.5 baths, convenient second-floor laundry and a gorgeous garden just a few blocks from Gilson Beach, a short walk to bustling downtown Wilmette and in the New Trier school district! This meticulously maintained home, which is a lovely mix of old and new, has arched LR windows, preserved millwork and pristine hardwood floors throughout. The original interior foyer door opens to a stylish interior of William Morris wallpaper and a gorgeous wooden staircase.

Next is the chef's eat-in kitchen featuring Wood-Mode custom cabinetry, paneled Sub-Zero fridge, double wall ovens, beverage fridge and warming drawer oven. French doors lead to a tranquil and spacious fenced yard full of perennials and an impressively large Willow tree in a far corner of the lot.
