A welcoming covered front porch introduces a gracious foyer, where hardwood floors extend seamlessly across the entire main level. A formal living room also ideal as a private office, sits adjacent to a well-proportioned dining room, creating a classic and elegant flow. The heart of the home unfolds in the open kitchen and family room, where a large center island, generous breakfast area, walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry connect seamlessly to a warm, inviting family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A rear deck extends the living space outdoors, while a well-designed mudroom with built-in storage adds everyday functionality. The second level is anchored by a stunning primary suite spanning the full width of the home, complete with a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. A standout feature is the private 28-foot balcony, an uncommon and truly special outdoor retreat. Three additional bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, are complemented by two full baths and a conveniently located laundry room. Hardwood floors continue throughout, and abundant natural light enhances the warmth of the space. The third floor offers exceptional flexibility, featuring a fifth bedroom, full bath, and an expansive loft-ideal for a playroom, media room, home office, or private guest suite. The finished walkout lower level adds significant living space, with a large recreation room, wet bar, full bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, perfect for entertaining, extended living, or an au pair arrangement. Additional highlights include a professionally landscaped and fenced yard, rear deck, two-car detached garage, and zoned HVAC for optimal comfort. Located within the highly regarded New Trier Township High School district and within walking distance to McKenzie Elementary, Highcrest Middle School, the Metra, and downtown Wilmette, this is a compelling opportunity to own a home that delivers on every level-design, functionality, and location.
