This timeless 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home spans 4,538 square feet and has been lovingly maintained by just two families. Recent updates bring modern conveniences to its historic charm, including a sleek, white eat-in kitchen, 3.5 newly renovated marble bathrooms, and a newer slate roof. The home boasts designer lighting, refinished original hardwood floors throughout, and custom window treatments by The Shade Store. Additional features include a freshly painted and carpeted recreation room in the finished basement, and the rare convenience of an attached 2-car garage, perfect for winter months.

Located near top-rated Central Elementary and New Trier High School, and within close proximity to parks, the train, and downtown Wilmette, this home is perfectly positioned for family living.
