About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to this warm and inviting 3 bed/2 bath ranch home with attached 2.5 car garage, nestled on a beautifully landscaped lot in the desirable Indian Hill Estates and Harper Elementary School district. Step through the foyer into the bright and spacious living room, where a bay window, marble-surround wood-burning fireplace, and elegant millwork create a cozy ambiance. The separate dining room, adorned with stunning French doors that lead to the family room, continues the home's refined aesthetic. The family room is bathed in natural light from a full wall of windows and sliding doors that open to the patio and expansive backyard. The custom chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, boasting extra-deep cabinets, granite countertops, a Wolf range, and two pantries - one conveniently located in the mudroom, offering the potential for upstairs laundry. The primary suite features multiple closets and an updated en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms share a renovated hall bathroom. The unfinished basement, currently used for storage, presents an excellent opportunity to expand the home's living space. The fully fenced property is a true oasis, with lush plantings and a private patio perfect for entertaining or relaxation. This well maintained and updated home is within walking distance to Harper Elementary and Thornwood Park and enjoys a central location between the highway and downtown Wilmette with easy access to the Centennial Rec Center, Park District, Highcrest Middle School, and Wilmette Junior High. Experience the best of Wilmette living, with its picturesque lakefront, diverse restaurants, vibrant shopping, and countless other amenities.
