This stately home, with traditional porte cochere and incredible grounds is located on beautiful east Chestnut Avenue - just steps from Lake Michigan, town, train and Wilmette schools. This beloved home has been beautifully renovated and expanded by the current owners with architectural design by Scott Javore and Associates. The floor plan is ideal for today - large living and dining rooms, sunny first floor office, spacious mudroom, open kitchen and family room plus an enchanting four season porch which opens to the backyard patio and lush backyard oasis. The second floor offers 6 bedrooms including an idyllic primary suite with large bedroom, walk-in closet, luxurious bath and fantastic private office with-in. The additional bedrooms, each unique in design and with sunny exposures have easy access to the additional baths. The third floor offers a cozy spot for an office/craft area plus a bedroom and half bath. The lower level is fantastic with large rec room (added when the family room addition was done), delightful tv 'den', play room, entertaining 'kitchenette', full bath and loads of storage. The newer detached 2 1/2 car garage was designed to blend with the architecture of the home and offers solar panels for supplemental energy. Landscaping, patio and delightful pergola was created by Chalet. No detail has been spared in this absolutely perfect 'forever home'.
