About This Home
In the heart of East Wilmette's coveted CAGE neighborhood, 925 Ashland seamlessly blends the timeless character of a 1920s brick home with the a complete gut-renovation and expansion (2019) by Elmshire Builders. Spanning four fully finished levels, no detail was overlooked. The first floor was thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. A gracious entry opens to sunlit rooms that flow effortlessly-an inviting living room, a formal dining room easily accommodating 10+, and a convenient first-floor office. At the center is a true showpiece kitchen, where every element was hand-selected: custom cabinetry, a striking navy island, Hamilton Sinkler hardware, and top-tier appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the breakfast nook and family room, with French doors leading to the landscaped patio and yard. Throughout the home, finishes are uncompromisingly high-end. Nearly all plumbing fixtures are Perrin & Rowe, the primary suite features a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, and every space reflects an elevated level of craftsmanship. The second floor offers a serene primary suite with spa bath and walk-in closet, plus three additional bedrooms, two hall baths, and a laundry room. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and a full bath, ideal for teens, guests, or flexible office space. The partially dug-down lower level is fully finished, complete with a recreation room, fitness area, full bathroom, and tons of storage. With its historic charm, exceptional flow, hand-selected luxury finishes, and a top-to-bottom renovation by Elmshire Builders, 925 Ashland is a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready home in one of Wilmette's most desirable lake-adjacent neighborhoods.
