East Wilmette farmhouse jewel w/ 4 beds, 3.5 baths, convenient second-floor laundry and a gorgeous garden just a few blocks from Gilson Beach, a short walk to bustling downtown Wilmette and in the New Trier school district! This meticulously maintained home, which is a lovely mix of old and new, has arched LR windows, preserved millwork and pristine hardwood floors throughout. The original interior foyer door opens to a stylish interior of William Morris wallpaper and a gorgeous wooden staircase. Custom cabinetry flanks the LR fireplace, which comes equipped with a fan to keep cozy fires burning. The home has great flow with a separate DR that leads to a family room / office / den with original pocket door. Next is the chef's eat-in kitchen featuring Wood-Mode custom cabinetry, paneled Sub-Zero fridge, double wall ovens, beverage fridge and warming drawer oven. French doors lead to a tranquil and spacious fenced yard full of perennials and an impressively large Willow tree in a far corner of the lot. Complete with an underground sprinkler system and welcoming patio. Plentiful storage and a powder room round out the first floor. Upstairs, the lovely primary bedroom suite features a custom walk-in closet with Wood-Mode floor-to-ceiling cabinets and island. More custom cabinets make an appearance in the adjoining primary bath! Two sinks, heated tiles, a large walk-in shower with built-in bench and a conveniently located additional laundry room complete the primary suite. A second and third bedroom and additional full bathroom are also on this floor. The third floor includes a large bedroom with a full bath (and mint condition vintage claw-foot tub!). The large attic opposite the fourth bedroom offers endless opportunities for build-out! Large basement includes partially finished space with bonus room, additional laundry room (with 2 more dryers) and workshop area. Includes two-car garage, plus adjacent parking pad with two exterior spots. Supplemental AC in attic bedroom. This is an estate sale and sold as-is.
