The kitchen, with its ceiling-height Maple cabinets, overlooks a breathtaking large brick terrace surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, ensuring privacy and tranquility. The 1990's kitchen features double ovens, good cabinet storage, a prep sink/bar area, baker's rack island & pot rack, pantry cabinet, and wood counters The second floor primary suite features a spacious layout, a walk-in closet and bath large enough for double sinks to be added. Two additional corner bedrooms (one quite large) share a semi on suite hall bath. The third floor presents untapped potential, ideal for creating additional bedrooms, a home office, or another bath. The full unfinished basement includes a newer deep-pour room addition. The property includes a slate roof, newer windows on the first floor, and a two-car garage with a brick paver driveway, complete with attic storage. The charming large antique brick courtyard patio feels right out of historic Europe. The vast side yard is a blank canvas, ready for your fencing or privacy landscaping touches if a grassy private lawn is on your wish list. This corner lot is nicely sized at .26 acres and 11,440 square feet. The location is unbeatable, close to downtown Wilmette's vibrant dining and shopping scene, Metra, the beach, schools, Plaza del Lago shopping and dining, and downtown Kenilworth. With so much potential and room for attic expansion and opportunity to customize the basement, this architectural treasure invites you to make it your own. Don't miss the opportunity to turn this fabulously located 1920's vintage house into your dream home, combining classic charm with modern luxury. Home is offered As-Is.
