About this home

Welcome to this beautifully updated ranch-style home in the heart of Wilmette, offering the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location. Situated on a large lot with a fully fenced yard, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence is just minutes from top-rated Wilmette schools, parks, shopping, dining, and the beautiful shores of Gillson Park & Beach. In 2000, under the expertise of the award-winning renowned architect Michael Hartman the entire home was completely gutted. Mr. Hartman's vision and mastery resulted in a complete floor plan change which developed into the beautiful custom home it is today. Inside, you'll find an inviting and thoughtfully designed layout featuring a spacious living room, formal dining room, and a versatile den with direct access to the private Bluestone courtyard patio-perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. The home includes two ensuite bedrooms with walk in closets including a generous primary suite with a full bath, jetted tub, separate shower, and an 8-foot sliding glass door leading to the patio. The second bedroom also features its own full ensuite bath with jetted tub and shower combination. The recently remodeled kitchen (2023-2025) showcases maple cabinetry, granite countertops, granite tile entry, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, and a center island with convenient roll-out shelving systems installed in 2025. Additional highlights include refinished maple flooring, custom solid core maple doors, custom millwork, interior transom windows, two fireplaces both gas starter one is woodburning and there other one is gas. Plus, two brand-new Velux skylights with built-in remote-controlled blinds that fill the home with natural light. Designed for both beauty and function, the home offers exceptional storage throughout, including a large pantry closet with crawl space access, a huge storage shed built in 2010, stackable washer/dryer, and an attached 2-car garage with heat and air conditioning plus a kitchenette and refrigerator with water line and ice maker. Major improvements include a brand-new Roof and HVAC system, 2 New Velux Skylights, upgraded dimmer switches, 200-amp electrical panel, Pella windows, and newer sliding doors installed in 2020. Enjoy peaceful evenings under party string lights in the private courtyard patio, all while being conveniently located near award-winning schools, the lakefront, and everything Wilmette has to offer. This move-in-ready home combines timeless character with modern updates in one of the North Shore's most sought-after communities.
