Built in 1855

Prepare to be impressed by this stately farmhouse on a 100' wide lot, where the norm is 50', located within walking distance to the Kenilworth Metra and downtown Wilmette with all of its amenities. The original 1855 reinforced structure blends seamlessly with carefully thought-out improvements, most recently a 2-story addition in 1999-2000, creating over 3000 sq.ft., transforming this home to create the modern, yet classic, style. The discerning buyer will appreciate the newer windows, kitchen, plumbing, exterior vinyl siding, roof and gutters. Two HVAC systems controlled with Google Nest keep an even temperature. The kitchen features a large island with cooktop and seating, Sub-Zero refrigerator, slide-in gas range and cooktop, KitchenAid dishwasher, built-in GE electric convection oven, table space, and a marble countertop area for pastry making. Just a few steps off the kitchen is a tiled mud-room, large Elfa closet, sitting bench and shoe storage with a separate entrance leading out to one of two patios. Continue on to the 2.5 car garage, spacious backyard with many lovely trees, perennials and gazebo. There is a gracious, formal dining room with built-in corner hutches. The family and living rooms have wood-burning fireplaces, gas starter in the living room. Both family room and solarium have windows all around and look out to the park-like backyard, recently leveled, landscaped and resodded. The primary bedroom suite has vaulted ceilings, stained glass, walk-in Elfa organized closet and private bath with double Kohler vanity, Mr. Steam shower with bench and claw foot tub. The guest bedroom suite has a dedicated full bath, and the two remaining bedrooms share a full bathroom. Storage and linen closets are built-in throughout these bedrooms. There is no lack of storage in this home. The unfinished basement, currently being used as a play space, has walk-out access/designated entrance, and could be finished off as a work-at-home office. The front porch has been renovated, reinforced and repainted. Welcome!
