A Rare Buyer's Opportunity in East Wilmette's Premier Location. This is your chance to own one of East Wilmette's most beautiful homes renovated and designed for the best in outdoor and indoor living - an exceptional value on a prestigious red brick street in the heart of the Central School District and New Trier High School zone. Set on an expansive ~half-acre lot behind a stately iron fence, this beautifully renovated and thoughtfully expanded residence offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury, perfectly suited for today's lifestyle-and ideal for those who love to entertain. Originally renovated in 2005 and expanded in 2009, the home balances architectural charm with upscale finishes throughout.
