About This Home

As of July 2023

A beautifully designed home, by award-winning Morgante Wilson Architects in 2007, is an architectural dream! Every room and every finish has been artfully crafted with amazing mill-work, curved walls, an open staircase, over 100 windows and tall ceilings help to create inviting and spacious rooms. The light filled kitchen, with custom built Amish cabinetry, has an inglenook with a cozy sitting area, tiled fireplace and eat-in kitchen area that connects to the stunning sun-room. A great family room with beautiful built-in bookshelves and a riverstone fireplace overlooks the lovely and private deck. The lovely formal dining room has 12' windows and a 17' tall ceiling. The living room has a stately stone fireplace with built-in bookcases and french doors that lead out to the front porch. A spacious mudroom connects to the side entrance of the home. The three-story stairway connects to the second floor which offers a lovely primary suite, two additional bedrooms with full baths and laundry. A large office or 4th bedroom sits privately a few steps away. The third floor provides a tremendous light-filled space perfect for a studio, additional family room or office space, balcony, and a 5th bedroom and a full bath. Lower level has a large great room, a workroom or gym and a full bath plus storage. The yard has been lovingly tended with innumerable perennials, many native plants, and a sizable raised bed/fenced organic vegetable garden. All this on a large lot, steps to the lake, the metra/el and downtown Wilmette. It's a true 10 in East Wilmette!
