About This Home
As of December 2024Nestled in the heart of the CAGE, this charming 5-bedroom attached rowhouse beautifully combines original features with modern amenities. Step onto the welcoming front porch and enter the spacious first floor, where you'll find 9-foot ceilings, original oak hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, exquisite period woodwork, and stunning stained-glass windows. The dining and living rooms are perfectly proportioned, enhanced by oversized trim and captivating craftsmanship. The kitchen was updated in 2020 and boasts a generous center island, plentiful cabinetry, brushed concrete and Walnut butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a wall of windows that offers views of the private fenced backyard, ideal for outdoor gatherings. You'll discover four spacious bedrooms, more period millwork, and a full bathroom on the second floor. The primary suite impresses with serene treetop views, vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spacious brand-new bath. The partially finished basement adds even more living space, including a rec room, a full bath, a laundry area, and ample storage. The backyard is a true oasis, featuring a large patio, a detached garage, and a beautifully landscaped yard. This prime location offers picturesque brick cobbled streets and is within walking distance to downtown Wilmette's vibrant dining and shopping scene, Lake Michigan, and the Metra. Plus, you'll own a piece of local history - this home was built in 1897 by the Gage family and designed so that the daughters and their families could live right across the street from their parents. Simply a remarkable home!
