About This Home

As of June 2026

736 Cummings has it all - charming curb appeal and turnkey living after an 18-month extensive renovation in one of the North Shore's most desirable, family-friendly neighborhoods. A new 2-story rear addition (completed 2021 by Edward A. Anderson Co.) plus whole-house improvements inside and out create a fabulous first-floor circular plan ideal for today's lifestyle. The showstopper is the spectacular updated white kitchen featuring a Wolf range, new dishwasher, Quartz countertops, Carrara marble backsplash, and a Butler's pantry with wet bar and wine fridge. The kitchen opens to a sun-filled, spacious family room with sight lines to the backyard. Enjoy entertaining in the beautiful living room with a handsome fireplace and a formal dining room. The second floor was expanded to create four bedrooms, including a generously sized primary suite with a newly designed walk-in closet and en-suite marble bathroom. Three additional bedrooms include one with 10'+ ceilings (currently used as an office). There is also a fresh marble hallway bathroom with a soaking tub. The lower level was dug out and expanded to provide a new workout room with excellent ceiling height and custom built-ins with quartz countertops, plus a family/play room, new laundry room, and large storage room. A completely rebuilt cedar deck (2023) overlooks the yard. Two-car garage. Within the last two years, professionally installed California Closets systems were added, custom built-in cabinets were installed in the family room, a Murphy bed that converts to a desk was installed, new laundry room cabinetry was added, and an irrigation system was put in - all enhancing storage, functionality, and convenience. Walk to award-winning Sears School (JK-8), New Trier High School, the train, and the beach. Meticulously maintained and flawlessly renovated - move right in!
