This charming vintage Wilmette home offers a fantastic location and timeless appeal. Step into the lovely three-season sunroom, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon gatherings. Inside, a welcoming foyer leads to a bright and inviting family room with wonderful windows and natural light. The spacious dining room flows seamlessly into a kitchen that overlooks the fenced yard. The second-floor features three well-sized bedrooms that share a family bath. Up the stairs, the freshly painted and carpeted third floor offers endless possibilities-it could serve as a fourth bedroom, office, or playroom. The unfinished basement provides ample storage space and a dedicated laundry area. Outside, the fenced yard is a standout feature, complemented by a two-car detached garage. Recent improvements include newer windows, updated mechanicals, and a newer roof. Located in a prime spot, this home is close to town, the lake, top-rated schools, and the train.
