About This Property
Welcome to 819 Chestnut Avenue, an extraordinary residence that
blends timeless design, modern luxury, and effortless livability.
What began as a 1920's red brick colonial was re-envisioned by the
acclaimed architects at Morgante-Wilson into a home so extensively
transformed that the Village of Wilmette recognizes it as new
construction. Every detail reflects the perfect balance of form and
function, with interiors that open seamlessly to lush outdoor
living spaces. From the moment you step inside, the elegant foyer
and sculpted curved staircase set the tone for four spectacular
levels of living. Expansive views of the backyard oasis - with its
pool, terraces, and gardens - draw the outdoors in at every turn.
The family room invites comfort and connection with its fireplace,
custom television and storage cabinetry, and French doors which
open to the elegant east terrace with a circular fire pit and
seating area. Flowing naturally from the family room via a glass
NanaWall, the sun porch offers both open-air and screened outdoor
living while showcasing sweeping views of the pool, second fire
pit, and manicured grounds. At the heart of the home, the
impressive chef's kitchen features a gorgeous Brazilian quartzite
island, custom Amish cabinetry, Wolf and SubZero appliances,
granite perimeter counters and an adjacent dining area with
intricate floor tiles and an open flow to the porch and Kalamazoo
outdoor kitchen. A serene living room, handsome private office
which overlooks the expansive front lawn, walk-in pantry, exquisite
powder room and mudroom with abundant storage complete the first
floor. Upstairs, the second floor offers four bedrooms and three
baths, highlighted by a stunning primary suite with private deck
beside the flowering green roof, a spa-inspired bath, and a custom
walk-in closet with center island. Three additional bedrooms, each
with unique character, include one large bedroom with an en suite
bath and two spacious bedrooms which share a Jack-and-Jill bath. A
well-designed laundry room and linen hall make daily living a
breeze. The third floor is an unparalleled retreat with a large
office (or fifth bedroom), a studio/yoga space (with a sleek murphy
bed), a full bath and a rooftop spa deck with cozy seating, privacy
planters and a luxurious spa - perfect for peaceful evenings. The
light-filled lower level continues the incredible design with a
media/recreation room overlooking the secret garden and outdoor
shower through three large southern windows. Additional rooms on
this level include an exercise room, full bath, a second laundry
and a stunning wine wall with beverage refrigerator and generous
cabinet storage for an additional 120 bottles. Direct walk-out
access leads to the pool and lush landscaping. Outdoors, the
Kettelkamp & Kettelkamp-designed grounds rival any resort: terraced
patios, expansive lawns, two fire pit patios, an outdoor
Kalamazoo kitchen, bocce court, hammock respite tucked into the
trees and heated paver walkways and driveway with automatic gate.
The pool features gentle steps, night lighting and an automatic
cover for year-round enjoyment. An oversized 2 1/2 car garage (22 x
24) with storage loft connects easily through the mudroom entrance.
819 Chestnut is more than a home-it is a lifestyle, offering
timeless design, modern luxury, an unmatched location, and a lens
through which daily life is elevated.
