932 Ashland Avenue

Welcome to 932 Ashland. This 2017 gut rehab has been thoughtfully designed to preserve vintage charm while offering all the conveniences and amenities for modern living. Located in East Wilmette's CAGE, the village's most prestigious and historical neighborhood, the location cannot be beat. Imagine living within a 15-minute walk (or less) to every convenience that the North Shore has to offer (beach, trains, schools, downtown shopping, restaurants and more) while still enjoying the ease of suburban living. Truly unbeatable! This 6 bedroom, 5.5 bath home was gutted to the studs in 2017 with a 4-story addition. The new homeowners will have peace of mind knowing that this home has new electrical, plumbing, dual zone HVAC, sump pumps with battery backups, roof, finishes, built in speaker system and so much more, while still retaining the charming elements that make this 1908 home an architectural gem, like original millwork, including coffered ceilings, stained-glass details, pocket doors, french doors and an original living room fireplace (converted to gas in 2017). The first level includes a beautiful living room, a gracious dining room, a chic powder room featuring handmade terra cotta tiles, a walk-in pantry and 2 convenient mudrooms. The stunning chef's kitchen includes a 10-foot quartzite island, high-end appliances and tons of custom cabinetry. The kitchen opens to the family room with a gas fireplace anchoring the space and a cozy sitting nook perfect for morning coffee or a lovely breakfast table. A wall of windows brings the outside in making this home open and filled with light. Upstairs on the second level, you'll find 4 generously-sized bedrooms, 3 full remodeled baths (including a jack and jill and shared hall bathroom), a custom linen closet and 2nd floor laundry all connected with a spacious, airy hallway. The serene primary suite includes two walk-in closets, a private balcony perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, a spa shower with 2 shower heads and a separate water closet. All bedrooms are equipped with blackout window treatments. The third floor hosts two versatile rooms, perfect for office space, bedrooms or a teen suite and a flexible bonus room. Another full bath with high-end designer tile and a claw foot tub round out the upper level. The lower level is bright and spacious and includes a kitchenette, living space, a bedroom and full bath which is perfect for an in-law suite, au pair or just great hangout/play space. Multiple closets and mechanical rooms are perfect for storage. The backyard is a gem! Professionally landscaped with evergreen trees for privacy, a sprawling bluestone patio, a lovely yard for entertaining and play space, plus a separate dog run, this backyard has something for everyone. The 2-car garage (completely rebuilt in 2017) has easy street access and a gate at the sidewalk to create a safe play space on the driveway. Enjoy this prime location just blocks away from the beach, train, Plaza de Lago, and downtown shops and restaurants. Convenience meets sophistication with this "move-in ready" East Wilmette gem.
