Description

Welcome to this exquisite blend of history and contemporary living! Nestled on an oversized 75x196 lot, this original 1900s farmhouse has been thoughtfully expanded and meticulously renovated. It boasts 8,237 sq ft of beautifully maintained living space, 5 bedrooms, and 4.2 bathrooms. Step through the Grand Sapele front door to discover stunning details such as original quartersawn Oak flooring, coffered ceilings, and a custom carved wood mantel. This home was designed and tailored for both family living and elegant entertaining. No detail was overlooked! The spacious living room offers a gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves and cabinets, and a fun reading nook. The separate dining room is conveniently located across the hall from the Chef's kitchen. You will love cooking with the high-end appliances, including a Vulcan 6-burner gas range with double ovens, griddles, and salamander and a separate full-size fridge and freezer. The island offers seating for 5, plus the sunny breakfast room, provides even more table space. Storage is abundant, including a full butler's pantry with a sink and instant hot water. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features two walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom with a double vanity, steam shower with a rainfall shower head, an oversized soaking tub, water closet with bidet and heated floors. Enjoy the added luxury of an intimate private loft, perfect for an office or cozy den. The second floor also includes four additional bedrooms; one bedroom offers an ensuite, and two others share a jack-and-jill bathroom. Stay active in the sunny exercise room, complete with Sono Speakers, Barre bar, mirrors, dance pole, sauna and access to a large deck. The convenient laundry room with storage, folding counter, and sink adds to the home's modern appeal and completes the 2nd floor. Unwind in the basement rec room, which is set up for fun! The huge rec room has a home theater with 9' sound-insulated ceilings, surround sound speakers, a starry ceiling, and built-in party lights. There is also a wet bar with a beverage fridge and dishwasher. A full bathroom and 600 sqft workshop complete the basement level. Step outside to a stunning, professionally landscaped backyard equipped with an underground irrigation system, two decks (one with a gas grill hookup and the other with built-in benches and a gas fire table), and a fenced garden with fully irrigated raised beds. With a rare attached 2-car garage and a 2.5-car detached garage, this home offers abundant storage and parking. The location is one of the best! Located just steps from the lake and Elmwood Dunes and a short walk to Downtown Wilmette and Plaza Del Lago, this home presents a unique opportunity to enjoy rich history paired with contemporary conveniences in a prime location. Don't miss your chance to make it your own!
