A true standout in Wilmette's coveted Indian Hill Estates, this showstopping 6-bedroom, 5.1-bath custom brick home offers the perfect blend of timeless elegance, luxurious updates, and exceptional space-both inside and out. An impressive two-story foyer welcomes you with a grand staircase, flowing into formal living and dining rooms-ideal for entertaining. The dining room connects to a lovely butler's pantry, while the heart of the home lies in the expansive chef's kitchen, recently redesigned by DG Kitchen & Bath. Here, you'll find a large center island, top-tier appliances, abundant custom cabinetry, and a sunlit breakfast area that opens to a lush backyard and patio through oversized windows and French doors. The kitchen flows into the family room, which features a shared two-sided fireplace and seamless indoor-outdoor connection-creating the perfect setting to gather, relax, or entertain. The flexible main-floor office-with walk-in closet and full bath-was designed as a potential bedroom suite and is ideal for work-from-home needs or multi-generational living. A custom mudroom with cubbies, a planning center, and access to the 2-car attached garage adds everyday ease. Upstairs, a spacious landing with built-in bookshelves provides a cozy homework or reading nook. Five generously sized bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite with French doors to a private balcony. The newly renovated spa bath with double vanity, separate soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in closet add to the appeal. Two beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill baths and a large second-floor laundry room enhance the home's comfort and functionality. A versatile third-floor retreat offers endless possibilities-perfect for a playroom, creative studio, or guest space. Downstairs, the finished lower level offers a huge recreation room, exercise area, kitchenette, sixth bedroom, full bath, a second laundry room, plus an additional room with beamed ceiling and fireplace that can be used as another office, lounge, game room, or media space. This lower level provides a stylish retreat for entertaining or unwinding. Set on nearly half an acre (.44 acres), surrounded by mature landscaping and privacy, this home is the ultimate retreat. Beautifully updated and with a smart circular floor plan, incredible versatility, and an unbeatable location, this home is a rare and remarkable offering in one of Wilmette's most coveted neighborhoods.
