Property Description
Completely updated and beautifully appointed, this center-entry Colonial is ideally located in the heart of Kenilworth Gardens and the highly sought-after Harper School District. Just steps from Harper School, Thornwood Park and the Metra, this home offers the perfect blend of timeless charm, modern functionality, and an unbeatable neighborhood lifestyle. Thoughtfully redesigned for today's family, the first floor features exceptional living and entertaining spaces. The stunning kitchen (2022) is the heart of the home, showcasing custom cabinetry with built-in organization and drawer inserts, a La Cornue range, Ann Sacks tile, and an oversized island with quartzite counters and plenty of seating. A built-in dining banquette creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, homework, or casual family meals. The main level also includes a bright and sunny family room, a custom wet bar with beverage refrigerator, filtered water, and display cabinetry, a private home office, formal dining room, and a mudroom with custom cubbies. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite features a generous walk-in closet. The fourth bedroom offers versatility- it includes a built-in Murphy bed, offering flexibility for guests, work-from-home needs, or everyday living. The hall bath was completely renovated in 2023. The finished lower level provides extra living space with an additional bedroom, full bath (2024), and an amazing recreation area complete with a custom kids' climbing center. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard, paver patio, sprinkler system, and gated driveway. The heated garage is currently outfitted as a gym and features insulated walls, epoxy flooring, upgraded electrical service, and abundant storage. Kenilworth Gardens is one of Wilmette's most beloved neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, welcoming community, and legendary block parties. This is more than a house, it's a lifestyle.
