Classic Colonial Charm Meets Thoughtful Renovation in Kenilworth Gardens Welcome to 2100 Beechwood Avenue-a gracious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick and frame Colonial on a beautifully landscaped quarter-acre lot in one of Wilmette's most beloved neighborhoods. Blending timeless charm with smart updates, this home offers flexible living, elegant entertaining, and room to grow. Set on just over 1/4 acre, this property presents a rare opportunity to expand the existing livable home in one of Wilmette's most sought-after communities. The classic center-entry opens to a balanced layout with a formal dining room featuring chair rail moldings, a central staircase, and a sunlit living room anchored by a striking fireplace. The fireplace showcases a crisp white mantel with crown molding and a honed dark marble surround-creating a sophisticated focal point. On the adjacent wall, symmetrical built-ins with glass and wood shelving add both elegance and functionality. Glass-paneled doors on either side of the fireplace open to the rebuilt (2020) screened-in porch, filling the room with natural light and offering a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. French doors lead to a flexible den or office, easily usable as a fourth bedroom. The 2018 kitchen renovation includes hand-hewn wood floors, grey leathered granite countertops, a marble subway tile backsplash, pantry wall, and luxury-level stainless steel appliances. A swing door connects the kitchen to the dining room, while built-in speakers set the tone for entertaining. From the kitchen, bluestone steps lead to a beautifully designed patio and private backyard oasis. Architectural columns added to the stone porticos, front and back, give a subtle nod to the home's Colonial style. The mud room/drop zone features custom Italian tile and access to the backyard, with coordinating tile in the powder room for a cohesive finish. Original details such as glass door knobs and multi-pane double-hung windows throughout enhance the home's character. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and private full bath, while two additional bedrooms share a second. Both bathrooms are original and present an excellent opportunity for renovation to suit your style. The lower level includes a laundry area and generous flexible space with potential for a family room, workout area, wine cellar, or custom finish.
