About This Home
As of October 2023Perfection. This stunning showpiece, just steps from Gilson Park and the lake, was fully renovated in 2017 with meticulous attention to every detail! With dramatic 12 foot ceilings on the main floor, an open floor plan, a Diane Wilson-designed kitchen, and a wall of windows opening to the gracious backyard, every element of your experience in this home will rival that of a 5 star resort. Enjoy Viking/Wolf and Bosch appliances, a Sonos sound system, app-controlled thermostats - even an electric charging station in the garage and Robern medicine cabinets in the lush master bath! Step into a healthy home as well, with Vollara ActivePure technology (which reduces 99.9% of common airborne and surface contaminants including viruses and bacteria). Experience convenience in your day-to-day living with 4 generously-sized bedrooms (one of which is on the third floor), 4.5 luxury baths, second floor laundry, a finished garden level basement and a massive primary closet to die for! Enjoy this total luxury experience in the best part of East Wilmette - just steps to the lake, beach, Sheridan Shores Yacht Club, the purple line, the Metra, the shops at 4th & Linden and the fine dining and shopping available in downtown Wilmette. Find peace and serenity in the gorgeous backyard with its gentle lake breezes, faint sounds of music from the Canal Shores outdoor concert series, and views of the iconic Baha'i Temple in the background. And, yes, bicycles (2) included! So you can explore the entire North Shore! Central School (D39) and New Trier School.
