About This Property

An Enchanting English Oasis in the Heart of East Wilmette.  Welcome to a storybook English country home nestled within a lush, tranquil garden sanctuary-an exceptional retreat located on a coveted street in walkable East Wilmette, just steps from the beach, town, Metra, parks, and top-rated schools.  Timeless architectural elegance and quality craftsmanship define this one-of-a-kind residence, where rich moldings, curved walls, and gracious proportions blend effortlessly with modern updates. A marble-floored entry foyer with a sweeping curved staircase sets the tone for the refined interiors. The sunlit living room, featuring a fireplace and serene views of both front and rear gardens and the formal dining room are perfect for entertaining.  French doors lead to a wide hallway adorned with a wet bar and built-in desk, flowing seamlessly into the breathtaking 10-foot-ceiling family room. This inviting space includes a fireplace, custom bookshelves, a large bay window, and enchanting garden views. An adjoining round breakfast room connects to the covered back porch and magical yard, while the bright white kitchen offers a central island, pantry, and high-end appliances-truly the heart of the home.  Upstairs, the spacious primary suite overlooks the gardens and features a luxurious bath with double sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower.   A charming adjoining sitting room with fireplace and window seats can serve as a 4th bedroom or office. There are two additional bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bath plus upstairs laundry perfectly positioned off the main hallway.  The third level includes a 5th bedroom, full bath, and a large unfinished attic-ideal for a future teen hangout or game room.  The lower level provides a partially finished rec room, utility and laundry areas, plus direct access to the yard.  Step outside into your own private Eden-an authentic brick-walled English garden featured in Traditional Home magazine. Meandering pathways lined with perennials, handcrafted iron arches, a walled lily pond with fountain, and cozy seating areas create an unmatched sense of peace and beauty. A generous bluestone patio offers the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.  This enchanting East Wilmette gem offers the rare combination of architectural charm, modern comfort, and a truly magical setting-ready to be cherished for generations.  Special features include copper gutters, a slate roof, whole home generator, updated HVAC, electrical, plumbing and windows, newer garage with EV charging capability and heated apron, and more.  This home is not to be missed.
