Property Description
A lovely East Wilmette stucco home cherished by the same owners for more than fifty years will be available to a new owner very soon. This East Wilmette home is situated on a 50 by 196 lot. This home is beautifully situated in East Wilmette. Only a few block to the purple line and a half mile to Gillson Park, with it's Lake Michigan Beach. Well within a mile offers access to Metra in Evanston or Wilmette, golf at The Evans at Canal Shores (newly renovated), or a plethora of shopping and dining options on Central St. in Evanston or downtown Wilmette. The yard is anything but traditional. View the garden in front yard from a spacious front porch, shade gardens adorn both front and back yards, with tons of eye-catching ground cover and flowers. The fully fenced backyard has a gorgeous two-tier cedar deck (rebuilt in 2023) overlooking artwork and a small manmade brook flowing through three gentle waterfalls into a peaceful pond. A traditional foyer circa 1915 offers a choice of entering the living room or the second level. Hardwood flooring throughout the main level. Both the stairway and second floor have carpet-covered hardwood. The living and dining rooms feature whitewashed pecky cypress paneled accent walls. The living room fireplace has been converted to gas for convenience. Dining spaces include a breakfast nook and formal dining room with original built-ins. A modest, white kitchen was updated in 2006. Finishing out the first floor is an office with full bathroom and sliding glass door accessing the back deck. The carpeted second floor is laid out to accommodate four bedrooms and two full baths. The ensuite primary has a spatially efficient bathroom with shower. The primary bedroom also boasts a private sundeck. The second level full bath was tastefully renovated in 2008. The unfinished basement is about two-thirds of the home's footprint and had a dark room and currently still sports a pool table and of course, plenty of storage. Improvements over the decades are too numerous to list. This wonderful home is ready for a new chapter. Whether new owners find it ideal for their needs as presented, or have grand visions to transform it, this beauty will be available for showings late in the day September 20th through the afternoon of September 22nd. No early showings, no exceptions. The home is offered "As-Is".
