Property Description
Extraordinary East Wilmette residence offering the rare combination of luxury, privacy, and an unbeatable lakefront lifestyle. Perfectly situated just a four-minute walk from Gilson Beach and the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan, this exceptional home delivers resort-style living in one of the North Shore's most coveted locations. Set on an impressive 85-foot-wide lot, the property showcases breathtaking, park-like grounds with expansive brick paver patios, a fire pit lounge, built-in grilling area, and beautifully curated landscaping that creates a true private retreat. An adjacent professionally landscaped lot enhances the sense of serenity and exclusivity. Timeless curb appeal welcomes you into a home that effortlessly blends sophistication with warmth and comfort. The grand living room, anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace, is designed for elegant entertaining and everyday living alike. A gracious formal dining room has hosted countless memorable gatherings and holiday celebrations. The stunning newly renovated chef's kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring an oversized island with seating, premium appliances, custom cabinetry, designer backsplash, and a sunlit breakfast area ideal for casual dining. A spacious first-floor office/sunroom surrounded by walls of windows and complete with a private entrance offers the ultimate work-from-home sanctuary. Upstairs, the second level features five generously sized bedrooms and four full baths. The luxurious primary suite is a true escape, highlighted by a cathedral tray ceiling, expansive windows overlooking the lush backyard, abundant natural light, a beautifully updated spa-inspired bath, and an exceptional walk-in closet. Each additional bedroom is thoughtfully designed with either en suite or Jack-and-Jill bath access. The finished lower level is equally impressive, featuring oversized windows with views of landscaped greenery, creating a bright and inviting recreation space rarely found in a basement. The lower level also includes a sixth bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or extended living arrangements. Extensively updated and impeccably maintained, this remarkable home offers an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy luxury living just moments from the beach, parks, schools, and all that East Wilmette has to offer. Showings begin Friday, June 5th - immediate close and occupancy available.
