1811 Wilmette Ave.

The enormous appeal of this 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath North Shore charmer is evident at first look, from the inviting front porch to the pleasing proportions of its handsome facade. Inside, you'll find spacious rooms and a thoughtful layout designed for comfortable living and gracious entertaining. From the roomy foyer, enter into the formal living and dining rooms where you'll find hardwood floors and delightful eastern exposures. The light-filled kitchen features stainless appliances and a walk-in pantry, and it opens to a large family room and the backyard deck. Three bedrooms on the upper level include the spacious primary bedroom where you'll enjoy two walk-in closets and a stylish en-suite bath with soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. With a built-in dry bar, the finished lower level has a recreation room that's ideal for casual gatherings of friends and family; there's also plenty of extra space for a home gym and workshop-plus lots of storage. Meticulously maintained, this must-see home has dual-zone HVAC, a newly-built detached garage, and a huge attic that's ready for future expansion to fit your needs and lifestyle. Close to Metra and Downtown Wilmette, you'll love this location in the highly desirable McKenzie Elementary and New Trier school districts.
