About This Home

As of November 2020

CHARMING on Chestnut! Among the very best homes in Kenilworth Gardens, and on one of Wilmette's most coveted streets. You will enjoy newer finishes and the perfect floor plan for entertaining and everyday living. This home has it all ... a generously sized, gourmet kitchen with a large island; a separate breakfast eating area; and endless cabinetry allowing for plenty of storage. The kitchen opens up to a spacious family room with an office nook/desk, custom bookshelves, and french doors that flood the room with abundant light and make it easy to enjoy the peaceful patio and backyard area from inside. The first floor also includes a beautiful grass clothed powder room, a charming dining room, and a living room with floor to ceiling bay windows. The second floor boasts an expansive Master Bedroom with walk-in/custom closet and a spa bathroom, and the three additional bedrooms are large in size and provide plenty of closet space. One of the bedrooms (the original Master) has a beautiful ensuite bath, and there is another hallway bath as well (three full bathrooms on the 2nd floor). The basement is ENDLESS! Fully finished, there are two playrooms with custom cabinetry for an entertainment system/gaming; a laundry room with cabinetry for added storage; and a bonus recreation room that allows for even more entertainment: a ping pong table area, a bar, and an additional play space, along with a half bath and ample storage space. The premier location and three-story bump-out addition that created the kitchen/family room, master bedroom/bath, and enlarged basement make this a perfect "FOREVER" home! Situated in Prime Kenilworth Gardens, 2236 Chestnut is a stone's throw away from Thornwood Park and Harper School. This is truly a special home and will not be available for long!
