2555 Wilmette Avenue

Looking for the perfectly updated, mid-century home, retaining the original aesthetic yet blended with today's clean Scandinavian lines? This thoughtfully reimagined and exquisitely redesigned 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath brick home has a wide welcoming foyer showcasing the kitchen, dining and living areas all focused on the beautifully landscaping and sophisticated outdoor entertainment area visible through the wall of windows and sliding doors. The timeless open gourmet kitchen has gorgeous soft-close custom walnut cabinets, Bosch appliances, quartz countertops and breath-taking waterfall peninsula. The original oak hardwood floors have a modern walnut stain and they flow from the open dining room into the sunken living room where the south-facing light is truly remarkable. The spacious primary suite with double closets has a walk-in spa rain shower bath with floating dual vanity and heated tile floors. The guest bath has a soaker tub, rain shower and floating vanity. Two other generously-sized bedrooms complete the hardwood-floored second level. The fully finished lower level, just a few steps down, has a large bright carpeted family room, the fourth bedroom, powder room, quartz countered laundry station and importantly, plenty of storage. Go out the lower level into the extra-wide mature back yard, fully enclosed with a tall cedar privacy fence, ready made for youngsters and pets. This is the ideal exterior retreat to relax or entertain on the extended patio and spectacular pergola with integrated Green Egg grill and granite counter bar. Home has a neutral palette to highlight the attention to details - updated designer lighting, all replacement knobs, hinges, and tracks throughout. Newer Trane two-stage furnace and humidifier, Trane A/C Compressor. Automatic attic fans. An attached two-car garage with recent roof replacement. So close to Romona Elementary and Wilmette Junior High Schools, Centennial Rec Center and with easy access to expressway. Wonderful home indeed.
