Lovely EAST WILMETTE home on a brick street in a desirable, highly coveted "walk to everything" location. A wide covered front porch overlooks the oversized lot (94 x 185) and sets the tone to this gracious and recently renovated home and yard. The perfect blend of old-world charm and modern updates. The first floor features a grand oak staircase that leads to a beautiful second floor landing. The dining room has original pocket doors and leaded glass windows. Off the dining room is a powder room. A formal living room features quarter sawn oak pocket doors, trim, built in shelves, a wood burning fireplace, and many oversized windows with a cozy built-in window nook. Pocket doors lead to the family room and updated chef's kitchen with a large island that seats five. The newly renovated kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances, beautiful quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, large pantry, closet, and a convenient 2nd staircase to access the second floor. The family room off the kitchen is spacious and features a gas fireplace with a large tv/sound system. Off the family room is a cozy south-facing sunroom. A glass door from the sunroom opens to the new large patio with a custom stone grill area including a natural gas fire table. This stunning outdoor oasis was completely relandscaped and hardscaped in 2021-- perfect for entertaining! The second floor offers 5 beds and 2 full baths (one bedroom is used as a laundry room). The primary bedroom has a gas fireplace and a south facing sunroom. All bedrooms are nicely scaled- 4th and 5th bedrooms share the en-suite updated Jack and Jill bath. Wonderful 3rd-floor retreat with full bath and skylights allowing for lots of light - a perfect guest suite or office. Lots of additional storage in the attic on that floor. The lower level was completely renovated in 2021 and is finished with an updated recreation/media room with surround sound, built-in bar area, full bath, and separate room that can be an office or bedroom. The workout room has a tv and there is a large storage room next door with built in shelves. The beautiful, oversized lot (94 x 185) has been professionally landscaped and hardscaped with mature trees and a stone patio - a peaceful and private setting sure to delight outdoor enthusiasts. Other outdoor features include the 3-car detached garage, a large parking pad for 2 additional parking spaces, and a basketball hoop. Convenient location... to schools, beach, Metra, and downtown shopping. A pristine gem in East Wilmette.
