About This Home
As of April 2025Great opportunity to live in beautiful and spacious home situated on Laurel Avenue, yes, the Laurel Avenue that hosts the best block party in east Wilmette! Easy distance to Gilson Park, Wilmette Beach, Linden Avenue L offering Purple Line Express to city, cute shops and pizzeria just a couple blocks away. Generous room sizes and perfect flow offer new owners the chance to make this beautiful home their own. Classic wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves and original leaded glass windows--Grab your book to cozy up and stay awhile. With Spring on the wing--How nice to relax on your front screened porch with your morning coffee and evening glass of wine. Open floor plan from living room to dining room to sun-drenched family room overlooking extra large yard, just what we're looking for. Cheerful kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances and white cabinetry. Upstairs, four bedrooms include primary suite with sitting room homeowners called "The Fort". Hardwood floors under carpeting in four 2nd floor bedrooms. Stunning new primary bath recently completed plus second hall bath serving three additional 2nd floor bedrooms. Finished third floor offers perfect home office space, playroom, guest suite with 5th bedroom and 3rd full bath. Some neighbors with same model finished their basements. Homeowners of 615 Laurel always used their basement for abundant storage, workroom and laundry and made the third floor loft their playroom. Homeowners upgraded plumbing, electric and HVAC system when they bought to raise their family here thirty years ago. New roof (2023), new front porch flooring (2024), hardwood floors throughout first level and under carpeting on second level. 615 Laurel is the essence of a well-loved home on a super-deep lot in a perfect east location. Special benefit of this property, a driveway from the street rather than just alley parking. Guests can park on driveway rather than on street. Ride bikes and scooters, play basketball or set up your soccer goal post right on your driveway! Come see!
