About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to 714 Central Avenue, a perfect fusion of modern elegance and classic charm in east Wilmette. This impressive home, completely renovated in 2012/2013, boasts five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. Fabulous curb appeal, starting with the inviting front porch that leads to the gracious foyer and beautifully designed living spaces, including a convenient first-floor office. Enjoy high ceilings, hardwood floors, and exquisite millwork throughout. The home has been meticulously renovated to provide all new electrical wiring, plumbing, mechanical systems, Marvin windows, roof and more. The chef's kitchen, with gorgeous marble countertops, high end appliances and abundant light, features an island and breakfast bar, perfect for both daily living and entertaining. The spacious living room with wood burning fireplace seamlessly connects to the charming dining room, while a peaceful sitting room offers views of the professionally landscaped yard. On the second floor, the luxurious primary suite includes a new bath with a double vanity, shower, soaking tub, and an immense walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a hall bath, and a laundry room complete this level. The expansive 3rd floor has two large bedrooms, a full bath and incredible ceiling height. This floor offers so many possibilities - an au pair suite, a guest suite, private office space, or wonderful hang-out space. The fully finished basement provides ample recreation space, a bar area with sink and beverage refrigerator, a workout area, and a full bath, all with a contemporary, loft-like feel. Additional highlights include a large, bright mudroom with a washer and dryer, built-ins, and storage space. The three car garage was built in 2014. Enjoy the beautifully irrigated yard and garden from the front porch, deck or patio. This exceptional home is a true standout in vibrant east Wilmette, close to schools, parks, the Metra, the village and all it offers, and of course minutes to Lake Michigan.
