Set on a rare oversized 65x186 corner lot in East Wilmette's sought-after CAGE neighborhood, 939 Ashland Avenue offers six bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths, along with the kind of architectural character that is hard to replicate. Original details, generous room sizes, and thoughtful updates come together beautifully in this welcoming home. The main level blends classic charm with comfortable everyday living. A gracious formal living room and wood-beamed dining room create warm, inviting gathering spaces, while the updated eat-in kitchen features quartzite countertops and a great breakfast room. A see-through fireplace connects the kitchen and large family room, where a bay window overlooks the backyard. Just beyond, the vaulted screened-in porch extends the living space and offers a great spot to relax or entertain. An oversized mudroom adds everyday functionality and convenience. Upstairs, the second floor includes the primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully renovated bathroom with double sinks and a walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms, a large hall bath, ample closet space, and a laundry room complete this level. The third floor offers even more flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, built-ins, and abundant storage. The lower level includes a recreation room, gym, wine area, full bath, and even more storage. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard features a lovely flagstone patio, two-car garage, and exceptional outdoor space for this close-to-everything location, just moments from parks, schools, the lakefront, shops, and transportation. Don't miss this remarkable place to call home.
