Property Description

SHOWINGS BEGIN FRIDAY,JUNE 27TH. Welcome to an exquisite classic Georgian red brick home in East Wilmette. This three-story residence features a distinctive green tile roof and copper gutters, complemented by a concrete driveway with access from both the street and a paved alley, ensuring ample parking for family and guests. As you enter the spacious foyer, you'll be guided to a private library, complete with built-in desk, bookshelves, and plantation shutters. To your left, the formal living room showcases bright windows and a gas fireplace that also accommodates wood-burning-a perfect setting for welcoming your guests. From here, transition into the sunroom, which features a terrazzo floor and paddle fan, ideal for morning coffee or afternoon relaxation. The oversized dining room awaits with its wrought iron chandelier and sconce lights, ready to host memorable evenings and holiday dinners. An archway opens to a cozy office overlooking the property, while a butler's pantry with glass cabinetry offers a beautiful display for your collectibles. The well-placed family room is designed for fun, boasting two walls of windows with matching rattan blinds. The heart of the first floor is a meticulously designed deGulio kitchen, featuring Siematic cabinets, a Miele dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Jenn-Air double oven, cooktop, and a central granite island with breakfast bar, providing ample prep space. Adjoining this is a large breakfast room with seating for eight and a spacious family mudroom. Both the kitchen and breakfast room feature heated floors, and a quaint powder room is tucked away for convenience. Ascending to the second floor via dual staircases, you'll find three generous bedrooms, two hall baths, and a landing with a wall of closets. Proceed through the home's original stained glass windows to a fantastic Primary bedroom addition, offering ample space, plantation shutters, a special dressing alcove with a well-lit makeup desk, and a luxurious custom bath with dual vanities, a whirlpool tub, glass door shower with seating bench, heated floor, and a linen closet. Venture up the "Stairway to Heaven" to discover a gigantic renovated bedroom, previously family bedrooms, now offering built-in bookshelves, two walk-in closets (one cedar), a wet bar, and refrigerator-perfect as a teenager's retreat, artist studio, or home office. The lower level includes a recreation room, utility room, and two extensive storage rooms. The expansive 100 x 190 yard features a dog run, basketball hoop, jungle gym, and plenty of play area. A concrete driveway provides rare entry from both the street and the alley, leading to a two-car detached garage. Adjacent to the breakfast room, an accessible deck built with sustainable materials is perfect for barbecues, enhanced by old-fashioned street pole lighting for special summer evenings. All windows were replaced with custom Marvin windows in 2014. This unique East Wilmette property has been lovingly maintained, making it a signature home ready for today's discerning buyer.
