Wilmette, Illinois 60091

Welcome to this charming 4 bedroom 3.5 bathroom Tudor home in the heart of Wilmette centrally located between Centennial Park and downtown Wilmette in the highly coveted McKenzie Elementary school boundary. Just a one mile walk or a 5 minute drive to the Metra for a quick easy commute downtown as well as all of the amazing shops and restaurants in downtown Wilmette such as Sophia Steak, Small Cheval, Pescadero and more. Welcome guests into your elegant foyer as they appreciate the charm and architectural details of this lovingly restored Tudor home - with a dash of Old Hollywood elegance! Step into arched doorways, arched windows, perfectly placed arched alcoves and a dramatic curved staircase that is photo shoot worthy-even when not for sale! The foyer provides a beautiful view of the curved staircase and opens to both the kitchen and the generous living room which easily fits a large sectional and is perfect for entertaining. With beautiful hardwood floors throughout, the main floor plan allows for great entertaining flow. A large sunken living room with fireplace opens to the spacious dining room which can easily fit a table for 10 - 12 and has a cozy family room off the dining room. Off the kitchen you can access the large and beautiful private backyard which is fully fenced and has a large patio. On the third floor are three bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, including the primary suite which easily fits a king sized bed, has a large walk-in closet and an attached primary bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a hall bathroom. The 3rd floor has high, dormered ceilings and a 4th bedroom, a generous office/play room/bonus room and a full bathroom. A full renovation in 2012 by the previous owners included refinishing all of the hardwood floors, restoring plaster walls, new kitchen cabinetry, countertops, new bathrooms, basically all surfaces throughout the home, new window treatments, and thermostats. The current sellers continued the updates by replacing almost every window and also replaced two furnaces, the oven, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer, and water heater. The sellers also had the exterior brick chimneys completely rebuilt. They are not currently using the fireplace in the living room; a chimney professional suggests a liner or gas insert should the new owners wish to use it. Downstairs has a finished basement with an additional recreation room, a massive laundry room, a utility room and a separate storage room. This home is bright and airy with sunshine flowing in from all angles. Children can walk/ride to McKenzie, Highcrest & Wilmette Jr. High from the house with crossing guard assistance. One car attached garage with two additional parking spots on the driveway. The sellers believe a pass through 2 car tandem garage can be built where the 1 car garage currently is but have not verified that with the Village. Another option would be to take down the current garage and put a driveway there instead to the rear of the lot and potentially build a 2 car detached garage on the rear of the lot, but that has not been verified with the Village. Buyers should verify with the Village that either option is possible if it's important to them.
