This beautifully maintained Prairie-style brick home is nestled on a premier tree-lined brick street in the heart of McKenzie Square. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a main-level office, this home is full of character, charm, and timeless architectural details. An inviting enclosed front porch welcomes you inside to a light-filled interior with gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, and an abundance of natural light throughout. The formal living room offers a cozy fireplace and custom built-ins, while the gracious dining room is perfect for entertaining. A full bath on the main level provides added flexibility. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, an island, and opens to an expansive family room with soaring cathedral ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a second fireplace-ideal for everyday living and relaxed gatherings. Set on a lushly landscaped lot, this home also enjoys a prime, walkable location just 2 blocks to McKenzie Elementary, close to Vattmann Park, the Metra, and downtown Wilmette, and only 1 mile from Lake Michigan's beach. A rare opportunity to own a home that truly has it all-character, comfort, and an unbeatable location-in one of Wilmette's most desirable neighborhoods.
