Property InformationDescription

Happily situated in the heart of Wilmette's desirable McKenzie school district, this beautifully expanded and renovated farmhouse perfectly blends timeless charm with modern living. Renovated and expanded in 2015, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home seamlessly combines modern upgrades with classic character. The main floor features a renovated kitchen that is a chef's dream, complete with stainless steel appliances, 42" solid maple cabinetry, leathered granite countertops and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the sunlit family room that has southern, eastern and western exposure. The family room boasts a cozy wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookshelves and hardwood floors. A separate living and dining room offers the perfect space for hosting gatherings, while the main floor bedroom can easily do double duty as an ideal home office. Off the family room, there is a bright and airy mudroom that leads out to the backyard. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including the luxurious primary suite with large windows overlooking the yard, two closets (including a walk-in), and a spa-like bathroom featuring a walk-in shower with a glass enclosure and built-in bench. The second floor also includes a generously sized full bathroom with a linen closet and additional storage closet that serves the two additional spacious bedrooms that are full of charm. The versatile basement space features a recreation room, and another area that was part of the expansion that boasts tall ceilings so the room can easily serve as a workout room, playroom, or home office, along with ample storage space. The picket fenced backyard, complete with a charming brick paver patio, is ideal for entertaining on a summer's night or just relaxing outdoors. An inviting covered front porch welcomes you into this thoughtfully designed home, offering convenience, style, and space in an unbeatable location. Modern updates from the 2015 renovation include a 200-amp electrical system, dual HVAC systems, a new roof, and durable Hardie board siding. Located within walking distance of McKenzie Elementary, the Wilmette Library, the Wilmette Post Office, the Metra Station, and the vibrant downtown area filled with shops and restaurants, this home offers an unbeatable combination of style, comfort, and convenience. Don't miss your chance to call this happily situated Wilmette gem your home!
