Situated in Wilmette's desirable McKenzie Square neighborhood, on a quiet block, this gracious brick home offers timeless charm, abundant space, thoughtful and extensive renovations and incredible opportunities for the next owner. The home showcases original wood floors and millwork, 9-inch baseboards, 9-foot high ceilings, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. Freshly painted throughout, it's move-in ready while offering opportunities to personalize and make it your own. The first floor features a separate living room that flows into a formal dining room (with a brick fireplace), as well as an open, updated cook's kitchen (2018) outfitted with stainless steel appliances (including a new refrigerator/freezer in April 2025), generous cabinet space, a large granite topped island, and an eat-in area perfect for casual dining. Just off the kitchen is a cozy family/TV room and a bright four-season sunroom that opens to an expansive wraparound deck overlooking a large backyard with a brick patio-ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Also on the main level is a full bathroom and a first-floor bedroom currently used as a private home office. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with access to a private four-season sunroom-a sunny retreat with endless possibilities. The second bedroom has a tandem room currently used as an exercise room. Another bedroom has a built in brick fireplace and is being used as a home office. The third floor loft space features a stunning guest suite, home office, recreation space and convenient kitchenette-all under 12-foot ceilings. The space is versatile and ideal for families in various stages of life. The English basement, filled with natural light, includes a newly completed laundry area with a new washer and dryer. The basement offers excellent potential to be finished as additional living or recreation space. Outside, enjoy a beautifully sized 60' x 149' lot with a driveway and space for a garage. Located on a quiet tree-lined street just steps from McKenzie Elementary School, parks, the library, train, and town-this home is truly a rare find. Extensive renovation and upgrades throughout, including 200 amp electrical service, copper plumbing, and, most recently, a new roof in 2024 and new chimneys and exterior tuckpointing in 2025. Don't miss your chance to move right in with the potential to customize and create something special in this well-loved and spacious vintage gem.
