About this home
This is the kind of Kenilworth Gardens location people wait for. Inside, a distinctive circular floor plan gives the home an easy rhythm, creating a natural flow among the living, dining, kitchen and family rooms, with a scale that is increasingly hard to find. Large bay windows bring in wonderful natural light, while hardwood floors run throughout the main and second levels. Four spacious bedrooms offer flexibility, thoughtfully arranged around a welcoming second-floor landing. The picturesque backyard and deck invite everything from summer dinners to a movie under the stars, with a detached two-car garage completing the setting. The finished basement adds additional living space and lots of storage. Set on a beautiful tree-lined street, it's a short walk to Thornwood Park and the schools, with downtown Wilmette, the Metra and the lake all close by. A well cared for home with character in a location that's hard to beat!

- Pricing range with comp-by-comp logic
- Pre-list improvements that pay back, and the ones that don't
- No obligation, no spam, no auto-dialer
