About This Home

As of November 2025

You will find this lovely classic stucco prairie house on a charming brick street in central Wilmette. You enter thru the sun porch with all original casement windows to the living room featuring a center fireplace which flows into the adjacent dining room and open kitchen with large island. The kitchen has shaker cabinets, marble countertops, stainless appliances, including a gas range with chimney style hood. From the kitchen there is a half bath near the back door, along with easy access to the basement family room and laundry room. Upstairs there is a large primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and space for a king bed. There are 2 more bedrooms, a full hall bath with a tub/shower, and a linen closet on this level. The house has been modernized with an open floor plan, newer kitchen, baths, updated plumbing and electric, many new appliances in 2023 (refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, washer & dryer), new range in 2024, all new windows installed in 2022, a two car garage built in 2009. The house lives large with a basement family room with great natural light and a dry laundry/utility room (drain tiled system installed with back up). The yard is nicely landscaped, fenced, deep and private. The Wilmette location is ideal, just a short walk to the town center, train and McKenzie elementary school. Landscape maintenance is included in rental price. (Photos are from an earlier staging. The property is currently unfurnished.) The property owner/manager is a licensed real estate broker.
