Lovely two-story Colonial in prime McKenzie Square walk-to-everything location on quiet cul-de-sac. Fantastic location: walk to Metra trains, McKenzie School (K-4), and all the amenities of downtown Wilmette. Offered "as-is," but look at the virtually staged photos to envision your future in this wonderful home. With good bones, and four large bedrooms and one and a half baths, this property has over 2000 square feet of living space above grade, including a family room with fireplace, plus a finished rec room with fireplace in the basement. There are hardwood floors under the carpeting in most rooms. New HVAC was installed in 2022, and the roof, siding, and most windows were replaced in 2015. This is a great opportunity to work with a blank canvas in one of the best family neighborhoods on the North Shore. Buyer pays Wilmette transfer tax.
