Extraordinary, exceptional, stylish and on-trend, comfortable, spacious, quality-to-the-max and so much more! This East Wilmette renovated jewel pulls you in from the moment you step onto the front porch and walk into the lovely foyer. Over 5000 square feet of living space on four levels this home offers character and yet the flow and right spaces for todays lifestyle. Gorgeous and expansive living room with wood burning fireplace, huge windows and French doors overlooking and opening to the front porch. The dining room too has expansive windows (the natural light in this home is incredible) and beautiful window pane wainscoting. You will be "wowed" by the fabulous kitchen! Huge island; top of the line appliances; butlers pantry; work space; warming drawers; of course custom cabinetry and marble counter surfaces; and jaw dropping breakfast room with floor to ceiling windows and French doors opening to the back porch. Magazine worthy! Off the kitchen is the amazing family room with coffered ceiling, window pane wainscoting, and phenomenal floor to ceiling custom bookshelves The second floor offers a wonderful primary suite with TWO primary baths and two walk-in closets. Suite is lovely and includes a gas fireplace. Dreamy! Second floor includes 3 spacious and on-trend secondary bedrooms (one with fireplace); two secondary baths; large and super cute laundry room; beautiful landing. On the third floor you will find two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a fabulous "secret" playroom! Lose yourself in this basement that provides fun for adults and kids alike! Great rec room with wet bar and separate snack/wine room; a theater room complete with a stage and seating from Radio City Music Hall!; exercise room with a bank of mirrors and barre; half bath as well as full bath that will be great dog/kid shower after those sandy walks on the beach; plus a beautiful office with built-in cabinetry and gas fireplace. Fabulous! As if that is not enough! Lovely back porch overlooks the beautiful oversized, fully fenced-in lot (67x213). The opportunity for a garage coach house is a huge bonus! Although not ready for living space, gas and electrical lines and water service are to the house and it will not take much to make this exceptional usable space. The quality of the work on this gut renovated home and the improvements are truly over-the-top and too numerous to mention (newer windows, newer cedar shake roof, new plumbing, new electrical, inground sprinkler system, speaker system, blown in insulation, new water copper water service, etc and etc). And the location is the best! Only a few blocks to Gillson Beach and Park and a couple blocks to Central Elementary school. Easy walk to town and the Metra. You will fall in love. Truly.
