This bright and spacious East Wilmette home with fresh decor is nestled in the McKenzie District on a quiet tree-lined brick street, offering a true 5-bedroom layout with incredible space, flexibility, and amenities. The first floor is made for entertaining, featuring a large living and dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, a full bath, and a 5th bedroom/den/office with French doors opening to the family room adjacent to the kitchen, which overlooks a generous backyard and deck. The massive "Cook's Kitchen" boasts a breakfast bar, over 23 feet of Zodiaq countertops, Alderwood cabinets and shelving, 2 sinks, a 48" Viking double-oven with 6 burners, griddle, professional hood, and a newer dishwasher.
