About This Home

As of March 2023

Looking for a spacious (4400 SQFT) and gracious home that exudes character and charm AND is set in an A+ location in highly desirable McKenzie Square? This lovely English Tudor revival home seamlessly blends the best of architectural detailing both inside and outside with modern amenities and updates throughout! The first floor features higher ceilings, gorgeous millwork, hardwood floors, a versatile, circular floor plan and receives an abundance of natural light. The Living Room has a curved wall framing the rich wood-burning fireplace and large divided light windows. Entertain in style in the adjoining Dining Room with plenty of space to host a large or intimate gathering. Have your morning coffee while checking out the weather in the sun filled Breakfast Room, which has oversized windows and door leading to the Flag Stone patio and the professionally landscaped backyard. Ina Garten would love to whip up her culinary delights in this lovely kitchen, with commercial grade appliances, large island and plenty of cabinet space to store all of the accouterments for today's modern chef! The stunning Family Room with soaring ceilings and large custom windows provides plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy and is the perfect space to host your Super Bowl party! Rounding out the first floor is a private Office and a Powder Room. Head upstairs and you will find 4 Bedrooms and 3 full Baths. The Primary Suite includes a walk-in closet and a private Bath. The additional bedrooms are all well proportioned; 2 share a hall bath and the 3rd is ensuite. All have good closet space. The lower level has a Rec Room with a cool vintage pool table (that comes with the house) along with a spacious 2nd family room (with higher ceilings) and the perfect hangout space! The basement is plumbed for a bathroom and includes Laundry and plenty of Storage. What's not to love about the outdoor life at 1601 Central- situated on a 61 X 156 corner lot, enjoy the pretty landscaped yard just one block from Mckenzie Elementary and close to multiple parks, the train and vibrant downtown Wilmette. There's so much to appreciate - a pristinely maintained, beautifully updated home that radiates charm and character throughout in the most fabulous location. Truly a gem you'll want to call home!
