About this home

This exceptional Wilmette home is located in the highly desirable "Little Indian Hill Estates" neighborhood, just a short walk from Harper elementary school. A stunning example of Keck & Keck architecture, the home was originally built in the 1930s and features a remarkable two-story addition that doubles its size while preserving its timeless character. Upon entry, you are welcomed into a spacious living room with custom built-in bookshelves, plantation shutters, and a rare Louis XVIII stone mantel fireplace that adds elegance and warmth. The adjacent dining room is equally inviting, with French doors that open to a beautiful bluestone patio, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The main level also includes a private office with a pitched ceiling, a large flex room that can serve as a playroom, den, or guest bedroom, and a thoughtfully designed mudroom with ample storage. The newer kitchen flows seamlessly into a fabulous family room featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and coffered ceiling, all overlooking the professionally landscaped backyard. Upstairs, the second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, and a beautiful timeless bathroom. An additional ensuite bedroom and a Jack-and-Jill configuration provide comfort and flexibility for family or guests. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, adding warmth and continuity. The finished basement includes a recreation room, a dug-out space, and extensive storage options. Outside, the backyard is a private oasis with a newer bluestone patio and a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace that creates a perfect setting for gatherings or quiet evenings. The attached tandem two-car garage offers additional storage and includes an EV charging outlet for added convenience. This is an incredibly special home that combines architectural pedigree, modern updates, and an unbeatable location-you won't want to miss it.
