727 Park Avenue

Fabulous heart of McKenzie location just minutes from downtown Wilmette, train, school, shopping and restaurants! This charming farmhouse-style home sits on a 50x200 landscaped lot. The house was updated and expanded by previous owners and offers a wonderful circular floor plan, flooded with natural light and highlighted by large windows, hardwood floors, high ceilings, vintage details and a young, fresh, sharp decor. The tour begins as one steps onto the large open front porch complete with swing and views of a sweeping front lawn. Step through the front door and you are greeted by an original hand carved staircase and a convenient center hallway. The great looking living room enjoys a bright southern exposure, built-ins, gas fireplace and sliding doors to the over-sized deck. The chic dining room has wonderful extra wide windows across the north and east and is large enough to easily seat 10 guests. At the junction of the living & dining rooms is a comfy family room/play room, next to it is the kitchen which is sunny, crisp and well laid out with stainless appliances, granite counters, a built in banquette and access to the wrap-around deck and yard. Upstairs is a stylish master suite with a sitting room and a master bath w steam shower. Each of the 3 family bedrooms is cheerful and comfortable. There is a hall bath with tub. Up on the private third floor is great space to be used as an office, studio or playroom, skylights provide plenty of sunshine. The basement is unfinished, open and well lit with laundry, lots of great storage and potential. The landscape is a lovely design by Chalet and includes a sprinkler system. The two car garage is detached and accessed from the alley, there is additional parking. This is a great family home in a wonderful location!!
