Welcome to this timeless 5-bedroom, 2.2-bath home in the coveted McKenzie School District, ideally located on a charming brick-paved street in the heart of Wilmette-steps from schools, parks, shopping, dining, and the Metra. Fully gutted and doubled in size in 2014, this home blends historic character with modern luxury. At its heart is a chef’s kitchen with inset cabinetry, an oversized island, Thermador 36″ range and refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, wet bar, and walk-in pantry. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the cozy family room-an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. A formal dining room and a living room with built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, and original Arts & Crafts details-including stained-glass insets and cabinetry-add warmth and charm. A bright enclosed sunroom, wrapped with shiplap walls and three walls of windows, overlooks the beautifully landscaped fenced yard. A mudroom with closet storage and a stylish powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a marble bath with a double vanity, soaking tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms share a renovated hall bath with classic subway tile. A large laundry room on this level adds everyday convenience. The lower level features a recreation room with a wood-paneled accent wall, a half bath, and abundant storage. Notable updates include a new roof (spring 2025), automated sprinkler system (2020), and a complete renovation in 2014 with new electrical and plumbing, dual-zoned HVAC, radiant heated floors throughout the first floor and basement, newer windows, water heater, humidifier, and sump pump. Outdoors, enjoy a welcoming front porch with swing, a deck with built-in grill and dining booth, and a backyard paver patio with additional seating-perfect for summer entertaining. This home is a rare blend of historic craftsmanship and modern updates, located in one of Wilmette’s most desirable neighborhoods.
