Property Description

Set on a beautifully landscaped lot in the heart of Wilmette's coveted CAGE neighborhood, this thoughtfully reimagined home delivers the rare trifecta buyers chase on the North Shore: an unforgettable block, a first floor built for real life and entertaining, and a backyard meant for fun and entertaining! It is a short, easy walk to the train, top-rated schools, downtown Wilmette, the lakefront and beach, and it's on the kind of street where neighbors become lifelong friends. The heart of the home is its remarkable first floor, where a gracious front living room with fireplace and rich millwork opens into a south-facing sunroom separated by French Doors. A formal dining room (which current owners use both formally for dining and informally for recreation, ie: dining table/pool table) is the center of the home. It flows graciously into the heartbeat of the living space- a generous kitchen anchored by an oversized island. Luxury appliances include a Wolf range, SubZero refrigerator, and wine fridge. An adjacent eat-in table space with expansive work wall anchors the back of the home overlooking the patio and yard. But it doesn't stop there. This space flows into a family room with vaulted cedar-lined ceilings with another set of French Doors which open for seasonal inside/outside living. The flow from front door to kitchen to backyard is simply effortless. Outside, that connection comes to life on a bluestone patio designed for gathering, with a built-in fire-pit lounge and a dedicated grill station with natural-gas hookup. Then there's a wide open green space perfect for whatever your pleasure is-whether it's a playset, winter hockey rink, or gardening. Upstairs, the primary suite features a lot of flexible closet space and a primary bath with double sinks, marble heated floors and a spa-worthy oversized walk-in shower. The hall bathroom also features marble-tiled heated floors and an oversized shower. The third floor is perfect for flex space- guest suite, teen lounge or office. The finished lower level offers flexible space for playroom, office or workout. The basement is already plumbed for a 4th bathroom. Best of all, the home has been meticulously maintained and updated, with newer windows throughout (2021), roof (2021), and furnace (2021), remodeled kitchen (2022) and baths and a new sewer line (2026). Nothing left to do but move in. A home where location, design, and livability come together in a way that cannot be missed.
