Close to downtown Wilmette's vibrant restaurant scene, shops, the Metra, Central school, Gillson Beach, and the Green Bay Trail, this house is filled to the brim with charm and character and totally move-in ready. The light-filled living and dining areas have beautiful, oversized crown molding and casements, and a cozy gas log fireplace to keep things warm this winter. Flowing into the bright kitchen, you'll find granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a lovely bay window overlooking the expansive, fully-fenced backyard with patio.
